Gene: PTK2B
Official Full Name: protein tyrosine kinase 2 betaprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase which is involved in calcium-induced regulation of ion channels and activation of the map kinase signaling pathway. The encoded protein may represent an important signaling intermediate between neuropeptide-activated receptors or neurotransmitters that increase calcium flux and the downstream signals that regulate neuronal activity. The encoded protein undergoes rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and activation in response to increases in the intracellular calcium concentration, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation, membrane depolarization, or protein kinase C activation. This protein has been shown to bind CRK-associated substrate, nephrocystin, GTPase regulator associated with FAK, and the SH2 domain of GRB2. The encoded protein is a member of the FAK subfamily of protein tyrosine kinases but lacks significant sequence similarity to kinases from other subfamilies. Four transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PTK2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines that have been genetically engineered to lack the PTK2B gene, which encodes the protein proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 beta (also known as FAK2). The absence of this gene facilitates the study of its biological functions and pathways, particularly those related to cellular signaling, adhesion, and migration. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology or other gene-editing techniques, researchers can create these knockout models with high specificity, allowing for thorough investigations into the role of PTK2B in various cellular processes and disease mechanisms.
The key mechanism of action for the PTK2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to mimic disease states or model specific biological phenomena that involve disruption of the PTK2B pathway. PTK2B is known to be implicated in neurological disorders, cancer progression, and other pathophysiological conditions. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can elucidate the gene's role in cellular behaviors such as apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation, thereby contributing vital insights into potential therapeutic targets.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both basic and applied research settings. They are invaluable tools for drug discovery, allowing for high-throughput screening of compounds that may influence PTK2B-associated pathways. In clinical research, understanding the dynamics of PTK2B can lead to advancements in personalized medicine approaches—providing essential insights that guide targeted therapies.
Compared to traditional cell lines that express the PTK2B gene, PTK2B Gene Knockout Cell Lines present distinct advantages. They offer a clear advantage in dissecting molecular pathways without confounding variables introduced by PTK2B activity. This specificity ultimately leads to more reliable and reproducible data, streamlining the research process and enhancing the validity of study outcomes.
For researchers and clinicians focused on investigating the intricacies of cell signaling and disease mechanisms, these knockout cell lines stand as a product of exceptional value. They empower users to demonstrate causative relationships and potentially identify new avenues for therapeutic intervention.
