PPP2R2B Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PPP2R2B

Official Full Name: protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit Bbetaprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The product of this gene belongs to the phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit B family. Protein phosphatase 2 is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases, and it is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. It consists of a common heteromeric core enzyme, which is composed of a catalytic subunit and a constant regulatory subunit, that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. The B regulatory subunit might modulate substrate selectivity and catalytic activity. This gene encodes a beta isoform of the regulatory subunit B55 subfamily. Defects in this gene cause autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia 12 (SCA12), a disease caused by degeneration of the cerebellum, sometimes involving the brainstem and spinal cord, and in resulting in poor coordination of speech and body movements. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, which encode different isoforms, have been identified for this gene. The 5' UTR of some of these variants includes a CAG trinucleotide repeat sequence (7-28 copies) that can be expanded to 55-78 copies in cases of SCA12. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Background

PPP2R2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines engineered to lack the expression of the PPP2R2B gene, which encodes a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). This gene plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including cell growth, division, and apoptosis through its involvement in dephosphorylating serine and threonine residues on target proteins. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can delve into the specific roles of the PPP2R2B protein in cellular signaling pathways, cancer biology, and metabolic disorders, allowing for a more precise understanding of its biological implications.

The mechanism by which these cells function revolves around the absence of the PPP2R2B protein, which alters the phosphatase activity of PP2A, affecting downstream signaling cascades. By employing these cell lines, scientists can investigate the consequences of PPP2R2B deficiency on cellular behavior, gene expression, and response to various stimuli, thereby uncovering important insights into the pathological states linked to its dysregulation.

In research and clinical settings, the value of PPP2R2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to serve as reliable models for studying tumorigenesis, neurodegenerative diseases, and other conditions influenced by phosphatase activity. Compared to other gene knockout models, these cell lines offer a comprehensive system for elucidating the specific contributions of the PPP2R2B subunit to PP2A functions, leading to more targeted therapeutic strategies.

The unique selling points of these knockout cell lines include their robust validation, flexibility in experimental design, and compatibility with high-throughput screening methods. They provide a streamlined approach for researchers aiming to dissect complex signaling networks or develop novel pharmacological interventions.

For researchers and clinicians striving to innovate in their fields, PPP2R2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines present an invaluable resource that can enhance the understanding of critical biological processes and improve treatment modalities.
