PMM2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PMM2

Official Full Name: phosphomannomutase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the isomerization of mannose 6-phosphate to mannose 1-phosphate, which is a precursor to GDP-mannose necessary for the synthesis of dolichol-P-oligosaccharides. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause defects in glycoprotein biosynthesis, which manifests as carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type I. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PMM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models designed to study the functional implications of the PMM2 gene, which encodes an enzyme pivotal in the mannose metabolic pathway. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology for precise genome editing, these cell lines effectively eliminate the expression of the PMM2 gene, thus providing researchers with a powerful tool for investigating the underlying mechanisms of PMM2 deficiency disorders, such as Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG).

The key functions of the PMM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lie in their ability to mimic pathological states, facilitating an in-depth analysis of glycosylation processes and their broader cellular impacts. The knockout of the PMM2 gene disrupts normal enzyme activity, leading to altered glycan structures and impaired protein function, which researchers can use to delineate disease mechanisms associated with PMM2 loss. This cellular model is instrumental in drug discovery and development, enabling the testing of therapeutic agents in a genetically relevant context.

Scientifically, the relevance of PMM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines spans both research and clinical applications. These models enable translational studies that can bridge the gap between basic research and therapeutic interventions. They provide unprecedented insights into glycosylation alterations and their consequences, serving as valuable resources for biopharmaceutical development and personalized medicine.

Unlike alternative models, which may not accurately recapitulate the genetic alterations or resultant pathophysiology, PMM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer specificity and precision, ensuring higher fidelity in experimental outcomes. Their unique selling points include user-friendly protocols for establishment and use, robust reproducibility, and customizability to fit varied experimental frameworks.

For researchers and clinicians focused on advancing the understanding of glycosylation disorders and developing effective treatments, PMM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a vital asset. Our company boasts extensive expertise in cell line development, ensuring the highest quality standards and support for your research initiatives. By selecting our PMM2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, you are investing in a tool that enhances your research capabilities and accelerates discoveries in the field of glycobiology and associated therapeutic avenues.
