POLR2A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: POLR2A

Official Full Name: RNA polymerase II subunit Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. The product of this gene contains a carboxy terminal domain composed of heptapeptide repeats that are essential for polymerase activity. These repeats contain serine and threonine residues that are phosphorylated in actively transcribing RNA polymerase. In addition, this subunit, in combination with several other polymerase subunits, forms the DNA binding domain of the polymerase, a groove in which the DNA template is transcribed into RNA.

Background

POLR2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the POLR2A gene, encoding the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, has been selectively disrupted. This innovative product allows for the precise examination of the POLR2A gene’s role in transcription and its broader implications in gene expression regulation. By knocking out this essential gene, researchers can investigate not only the immediate effects on mRNA synthesis but also the downstream consequences on cellular function, including differentiation, proliferation, and response to various stimuli.

The key function of POLR2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their capacity to elucidate the mechanistic pathways by which RNA polymerase II mediates transcription. With the POLR2A gene disrupted, researchers can identify compensatory mechanisms within the cell and analyze the functional consequences of reduced RNA synthesis. This insight is critical for understanding diseases characterized by aberrant transcription, such as cancer and neurological disorders, thereby providing a valuable model for therapeutic intervention.

In research settings, these cell lines offer a robust tool for assessing drug efficacy in modulating transcriptional changes or for screening potential small-molecule inhibitors of RNA polymerase II. Clinically, understanding the role of POLR2A can aid in developing targeted treatments that address transcriptional dysregulation, marking a significant advancement in personalized medicine.

The advantages of POLR2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines over traditional models are manifold. With precise gene editing technologies employed, these cell lines exhibit validated knockout efficiency and reproducibility, ensuring reliable results. Unlike RNA interference-based methods that may yield partial knockdown, the complete knockout allows for more definitive assessments of gene function.

For researchers, clinicians, and biotech companies, the POLR2A Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable resource for studying key biological pathways and developing innovative therapies. Our company boasts years of expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development, ensuring that each product not only meets stringent scientific standards but also supports the advancement of groundbreaking research.
