PIP4K2A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PIP4K2A

Official Full Name: phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 alphaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Phosphatidylinositol-5,4-bisphosphate, the precursor to second messengers of the phosphoinositide signal transduction pathways, is thought to be involved in the regulation of secretion, cell proliferation, differentiation, and motility. The protein encoded by this gene is one of a family of enzymes capable of catalyzing the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate on the fourth hydroxyl of the myo-inositol ring to form phosphatidylinositol-5,4-bisphosphate. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme does not show homology to other kinases, but the recombinant protein does exhibit kinase activity. This gene is a member of the phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PIP4K2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase Type 2 alpha (PIP4K2A) gene. This critical protein plays a vital role in the synthesis of phosphoinositides, which are pivotal for various cellular processes, including signal transduction, membrane trafficking, and cell growth regulation. By disrupting the expression of the PIP4K2A gene, these knockout cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool to study the functional consequences of its absence, allowing for deeper insights into cellular metabolism, growth signaling pathways, and the mechanistic underpinnings of various diseases, including cancer and metabolic disorders.

The key functions of the PIP4K2A protein relate to its involvement in creating phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) from phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PI5P), which is essential for proper endocytic and secretory pathway functions. The knockout of this gene elucidates its indispensable role, thus enabling the exploration of alternative pathways and compensatory mechanisms in cellular contexts.

In research and clinical settings, PIP4K2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines serve as invaluable platforms for drug discovery, biomarker identification, and therapeutic development. They allow scientists to test hypotheses regarding the role of PIP4K2A in tumorigenesis or to evaluate the efficacy of compounds designed to modulate its activity. These models are particularly potent in high-throughput screening and functional genomics, leading to faster and more accurate data generation in drug development.

Compared to conventional knockout models that may entail lengthy and complex procedures, our specialized cell lines offer a streamlined approach, maximizing efficiency and reproducibility. Established using cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these lines exhibit stable genetic modifications, ensuring robust results with minimal background noise.

Researchers and clinicians alike will find the PIP4K2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines valuable due to their specificity, reliability, and ease of use, ultimately facilitating groundbreaking research into cell signaling and disease pathology. Our company prides itself on delivering high-quality biological products, underpinned by extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, ensuring that our clients receive unparalleled support and innovative solutions for their experimental needs.
