PON2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PON2

Official Full Name: paraoxonase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase gene family, which includes three known members located adjacent to each other on the long arm of chromosome 7. The encoded protein is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, membrane-bound, and may act as a cellular antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Hydrolytic activity against acylhomoserine lactones, important bacterial quorum-sensing mediators, suggests the encoded protein may also play a role in defense responses to pathogenic bacteria. Mutations in this gene may be associated with vascular disease and a number of quantitative phenotypes related to diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

PON2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines engineered to lack the PON2 gene, which encodes paraoxonase 2, a crucial enzyme involved in lipid metabolism and oxidative stress response. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools for researchers aiming to dissect the biological roles of PON2 in various physiological and pathological contexts. By providing a controlled environment devoid of PON2, scientists can explore the gene's contributions to diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.

The primary function of PON2 involves the hydrolysis of oxidized lipids and the modulation of cellular oxidative stress, protecting cells from damage. The knockout of this gene allows researchers to investigate the consequences of its absence on processes such as apoptosis, cell signaling, and inflammatory responses. Through the use of sophisticated techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, these cell lines are meticulously developed to ensure specific and efficient gene disruption, allowing for high reproducibility and reliable results.

The scientific importance of PON2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their diverse applications in both basic and translational research. They facilitate the study of cellular mechanisms under different oxidative stress conditions and provide insights that can lead to novel therapeutic strategies. In clinical settings, understanding the role of PON2 may also have implications for disease risk prediction and biomarker development.
