POFUT2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: POFUT2

Official Full Name: protein O-fucosyltransferase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: Fucose is typically found as a terminal modification of branched chain glycoconjugates, but it also exists in direct O-linkage to serine or threonine residues within cystine knot motifs in epidermal growth factor (EGF; MIM 131530)-like repeats or thrombospondin (THBS; see MIM 188060) type-1 repeats. POFUT2 is an O-fucosyltransferase that use THBS type-1 repeats as substrates (Luo et al., 2006 [PubMed 16464857]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

Background

POFUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to study the function of the POFUT2 gene, which encodes a protein responsible for O-fucosylation—a post-translational modification that plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including signaling pathways and development. These knockout cell lines serve as vital tools for researchers aiming to elucidate the biological mechanisms influenced by POFUT2 and its involvement in disease pathology.

The primary function of these cell lines lies in their ability to lack the POFUT2 gene, thereby allowing for a clear analysis of the gene's role by comparing them with wild-type counterparts. This knockout strategy facilitates the investigation of the downstream effects of POFUT2 deficiency, including alterations in glycosylation patterns, signal transduction, and potential implications in oncogenesis and immune response modulation. By employing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, these cell lines provide a robust means to precisely assess functional outcomes in controlled experiments.

The scientific importance of POFUT2 Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in both basic research and clinical studies. They play a critical role in drug discovery, helping to identify novel therapeutic targets, and in understanding disease mechanisms, particularly in cancer and autoimmune disorders. These models also contribute to the development of glycoengineering strategies aimed at designing more effective biopharmaceuticals.

Compared to alternative models, such as transient knockdown or overexpression systems, POFUT2 Knockout Cell Lines offer stable and reproducible results, ensuring that findings are reliable and can be translated into therapeutic advancements. Furthermore, these cell lines represent a significant investment in time and resources, as they provide comprehensive insights that transient models may not capture.

In summary, the POFUT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are indispensable tools for researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of glycosylation and its effects on cellular behavior. Our company specializes in the production and provision of high-quality, genetically-engineered models that empower scientific inquiry, supporting advancements in life sciences and paving the way for innovative therapeutic approaches.
