PRKAB2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PRKAB2

Official Full Name: protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit beta 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a regulatory subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status. In response to cellular metabolic stresses, AMPK is activated, and thus phosphorylates and inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. This subunit may be a positive regulator of AMPK activity. It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and thus may have tissue-specific roles. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Background

PRKAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines specifically designed to study the functional roles of the PRKAB2 gene in various biological processes. These cell lines have been engineered to lack expression of the PRKAB2 gene, a crucial component of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, which is integral in regulating energy balance and cellular metabolism in response to stressors such as nutrient availability and exercise.

Functionally, the PRKAB2 gene encodes a regulatory subunit of AMPK, which acts as a cellular energy sensor. When energy levels are low, AMPK becomes activated, leading to adaptations in glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation, thus promoting metabolic homeostasis. By utilizing PRKAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers can discern the specific contributions of PRKAB2 to these metabolic processes and how its absence affects cellular responses to environmental stresses.

The scientific importance of PRKAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their applicability to both research and clinical settings. These models enable in-depth investigations into metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity, and potential therapeutic interventions targeting the AMPK pathway. Such investigations are invaluable for drug development and understanding disease mechanisms.

Compared to traditional cell lines, our PRKAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide a more precise and streamlined approach to studying the PRKAB2 gene's role. Researchers benefit from allele-specific knockout efficiency and replicable cellular responses, eliminating confounding variables inherent in less refined models.

For researchers and clinicians, these knockout cell lines offer unique advantages, including the acceleration of discovery and validation processes related to metabolic diseases. Our expert team is deeply committed to advancing cellular biology through high-quality biological products. By leveraging our PRKAB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, users can enhance their research capabilities, furthering the understanding of key metabolic pathways and translating findings into clinical advancements.
