Piezo2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: Piezo2

Official Full Name: piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2provided by RGD

Gene Summary: Predicted to enable mechanosensitive monoatomic ion channel activity and monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception; and monoatomic cation transport. Predicted to be located in cuticular plate; neuronal cell body membrane; and stereocilium. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 3 and distal arthrogryposis type 5. Orthologous to human PIEZO2 (piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2).

Background

Piezo2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are advanced cellular tools specifically engineered to disrupt the Piezo2 gene, which encodes a mechanosensitive ion channel crucial for various physiological processes, including touch sensation and proprioception. These cell lines are meticulously crafted through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology, ensuring a complete knockout of the Piezo2 gene, providing researchers with a robust platform for studying mechanotransduction and cellular responses to mechanical stimuli.

The primary function of these cell lines is to facilitate the examination of the Piezo2 pathway's role in cellular physiology and pathology. By manipulating the expression of the Piezo2 gene, researchers can investigate the consequences of its absence on cellular signaling pathways, gene expression, and behavior under mechanical stress. This is particularly relevant in understanding disorders related to mechanosensation and contributes to the field of neurobiology.

Scientifically, Piezo2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in both research and clinical settings. They serve as essential models for exploring conditions like chronic pain, sensory dysfunction, and certain developmental disorders. These cell lines also have significant potential for drug discovery and therapeutic research, enabling scientists to assay the effects of novel compounds targeting mechanotransduction pathways.

Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cell lines or less specific knockdown approaches, Piezo2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a definitive genetic alteration that provides clearer insights into the absence of Piezo2 function. This level of specificity enhances the reproducibility of results and the validity of conclusions drawn from experiments.

The value of Piezo2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond their scientific applications; they empower researchers and clinicians to unlock new dimensions in understanding mechanosensory biology. Access to such precise tools is crucial for advancing research frontiers, which can lead to the development of innovative therapies.

Our company is committed to excellence in producing high-quality biological products for cutting-edge research, backed by years of expertise in genetic engineering and a dedication to advancing scientific exploration. With Piezo2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of mechanosensation and significantly contribute to transformative discoveries in biomedical science.
