Gene: PTGS2
Official Full Name: prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), also known as cyclooxygenase, is the key enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, and acts both as a dioxygenase and as a peroxidase. There are two isozymes of PTGS: a constitutive PTGS1 and an inducible PTGS2, which differ in their regulation of expression and tissue distribution. This gene encodes the inducible isozyme. It is regulated by specific stimulatory events, suggesting that it is responsible for the prostanoid biosynthesis involved in inflammation and mitogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

PTGS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have been specifically designed to lack the expression of the PTGS2 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2) gene. This gene encodes an enzyme that plays a critical role in the inflammatory response by catalyzing the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. The absence of this enzyme allows researchers to study the physiological and pathophysiological processes related to inflammation and cancer without the confounding effects of PTGS2 activity, providing a powerful tool for dissecting these complex biological pathways.
These knockout cell lines serve several key functions: they enable the examination of cellular responses in the absence of prostaglandin synthesis, facilitate the investigation of drug effects on pathways influenced by PTGS2, and assist in exploring the roles of this enzyme in various disease models. By allowing for the observation of altered gene expression and signaling cascades devoid of PTGS2, these cell lines are invaluable for both basic research and therapeutic development.
The scientific importance of PTGS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their applications in cancer research, cardiovascular studies, and the development of anti-inflammatory drugs. They provide vital insights into how inflammation contributes to tumorigenesis and progression, thus aiding in the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.
