Gene: PLOD2
Official Full Name: procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound homodimeric enzyme that is localized to the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The enzyme (cofactors iron and ascorbate) catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysyl residues in collagen-like peptides. The resultant hydroxylysyl groups are attachment sites for carbohydrates in collagen and thus are critical for the stability of intermolecular crosslinks. Some patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIB have deficiencies in lysyl hydroxylase activity. Mutations in the coding region of this gene are associated with Bruck syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PLOD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to facilitate research in extracellular matrix biology, particularly focusing on collagen biosynthesis and tissue remodeling processes. These cell lines are produced through CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to disrupt the PLOD2 gene, which encodes for prolyl 4-hydroxylase, an enzyme critically involved in the post-translational modification of collagen molecules. By knocking out the PLOD2 gene, researchers can investigate the resultant alterations in collagen production and stability, thus illuminating the roles of PLOD2 in normal and pathological conditions.
Functionally, PLOD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines enable the study of integrative biological processes such as wound healing, fibrosis, and tumor progression. By assessing how the absence of PLOD2 affects collagen deposition, structural integrity, and cellular responses, these models serve to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of diseases characterized by aberrant collagen metabolism, such as scleroderma and other fibrotic disorders.
From a scientific standpoint, these cell lines are invaluable tools in both research and clinical environments. Their ability to model specific gene defects allows for targeted experimentation and can be instrumental in drug screening, biomarker discovery, or therapeutic interventions aimed at collagen-associated diseases. Compared to conventional cell lines, the specific targeting of PLOD2 provides unique insights that are not achievable through standard models, ensuring a higher translational value of experimental findings.
The advantages of PLOD2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie in their enhanced relevancy to human biology and disease, offering researchers a powerful platform to investigate therapeutic strategies and mechanistic pathways affected by collagen dysregulation. With increased reproducibility and specificity, these cell lines make a significant contribution to advancing knowledge in the field of connective tissue biology.
