PRKAG2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: PRKAG2

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

Gene Summary: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterotrimeric protein composed of a catalytic alpha subunit, a noncatalytic beta subunit, and a noncatalytic regulatory gamma subunit. Various forms of each of these subunits exist, encoded by different genes. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status and functions by inactivating key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. This gene is a member of the AMPK gamma subunit family. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and glycogen storage disease of the heart. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

Background

PRKAG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a specialized resource in the field of molecular biology, specifically designed to elucidate the functional roles of the PRKAG2 gene, which is implicated in various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. These cell lines are created through targeted CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, resulting in the complete ablation of the PRKAG2 gene. This knockout allows researchers to investigate the gene's contributions to cellular processes such as energy metabolism, signaling pathways, and cellular proliferation.

Functionally, the PRKAG2 gene encodes a subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) complex, which plays a critical role in cellular energy homeostasis. The knockout of PRKAG2 can lead to altered AMPK signaling, thereby affecting the cell's response to metabolic stressors like nutrient deprivation and hypoxia. This alteration presents a unique opportunity for researchers to explore the pathophysiological implications of impaired AMPK signaling in conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends beyond basic research; they hold significant applications in drug discovery and development, particularly in the context of metabolic disorders where AMPK modulation is a therapeutic target. By using these knockout cells, researchers can identify potential drug candidates that may restore normal metabolic function or enhance AMPK activity in disease states.

Compared to conventional cell models, PRKAG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a higher specificity and precision in studying the role of the PRKAG2 gene. Traditional methods may not adequately reflect the complex interactions in a living system and can yield non-representative results. In contrast, our knockout cell lines enable the direct assessment of the gene's loss-of-function effects.

For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines facilitate a more sophisticated understanding of gene function and regulation, driving advances in the development of targeted therapies. They provide an invaluable tool for elucidating the intricacies of metabolic pathways and their implications in health and disease.

Our company is committed to advancing biomedical research by providing high-quality, validated biological products. With a focus on innovative solutions and the latest gene-editing technologies, we ensure that our PRKAG2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are not only scientifically rigorous but also readily accessible for diverse research applications.
