Gene: PSEN2
Official Full Name: presenilin 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with an inherited form of the disease carry mutations in the presenilin proteins (PSEN1 or PSEN2) or the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These disease-linked mutations result in increased production of the longer form of amyloid-beta (main component of amyloid deposits found in AD brains). Presenilins are postulated to regulate APP processing through their effects on gamma-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves APP. Also, it is thought that the presenilins are involved in the cleavage of the Notch receptor such that, they either directly regulate gamma-secretase activity, or themselves act are protease enzymes. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of PSEN2 have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PSEN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines refer to a specifically engineered set of cellular models in which the presenilin-2 (PSEN2) gene has been disrupted or knocked out, effectively allowing researchers to study the role of this gene in cellular processes and disease mechanisms. The PSEN2 gene is critical in the context of Alzheimer's disease as it encodes a component of the gamma-secretase complex, which is involved in the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the production of amyloid-beta peptides, key players in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's.
These cell lines function by providing a controlled environment in which the absence of PSEN2 can be studied, enabling researchers to observe related phenotypic changes, alterations in signaling pathways, and impacts on amyloidogenic processing. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or similar gene-editing approaches, these knockout cell lines present a reliable model to dissect the complexities of Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms or test potential therapeutic interventions.
The scientific importance of PSEN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their application across various research fields, particularly neurobiology and drug discovery. They allow for precise investigation into the cellular pathways that are altered in Alzheimer's disease, facilitating a better understanding of disease progression and identifying potential biomarkers. Clinically, these models can assist in the screening of new pharmaceuticals aimed at mitigating cognitive decline associated with neurodegeneration.
A significant advantage of our PSEN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their high fidelity and reproducibility compared to alternative models, such as non-targeted knockouts or transient gene silencing approaches. Researchers benefit from a stable genetic background, enabling long-term studies and consistent results. Furthermore, our cell lines are meticulously validated and characterized, ensuring that users can trust the data generated from experiments conducted using these tools.
In summary, our PSEN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a pioneering resource for the scientific community, bridging the gap between basic research and clinical applications. With a deep commitment to advancing biomedical research, our company leverages extensive expertise in genetic engineering to provide exceptional products that empower scientists and clinicians in their quest for innovative solutions.
