Gene: Plin2
Official Full Name: perilipin 2provided by MGI
Gene Summary: Acts upstream of or within lipid storage and long-chain fatty acid transport. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; lipid droplet; and nucleus. Is expressed in hindlimb tendon and pancreas epithelium. Orthologous to human PLIN2 (perilipin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Plin2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that have undergone precise genetic modification to inactivate the Plin2 gene, which encodes for the perilipin 2 protein, a critical regulator of lipid metabolism. These cell lines serve as invaluable tools in the study of lipogenesis, lipid storage, and fatty acid metabolism, allowing researchers to gain insights into the biological processes that govern lipid homeostasis and associated metabolic disorders.
The primary function of Plin2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to elucidate the roles of perilipin proteins in lipid droplet dynamics, especially their involvement in lipid storage and mobilization. By disrupting the Plin2 gene, these cell lines facilitate the assessment of how altered lipid handling can influence cellular proliferation, differentiation, and response to external stimuli. Such models provide a robust platform for studying the molecular underpinnings of obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic syndromes.
In a research or clinical context, these knockout cell lines are particularly significant for addressing questions regarding the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases and the development of therapeutic interventions. Their ability to replicate pertinent features of lipid metabolism makes them superior for high-throughput drug screening and for validating potential lipid-targeting drugs before translational applications.
Compared to traditional wild-type cell lines or alternative models that may not accurately reflect human lipid metabolism, Plin2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide distinct advantages due to the specific gene alteration, which mimics certain disease states more faithfully. This specificity allows researchers to draw more precise conclusions regarding the function of the Plin2 protein and its implications in metabolic health.
For researchers and clinicians invested in exploring lipid-related disorders, the Plin2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a cutting-edge resource that enhances the capacity to delineate complex biological pathways and ultimately design more effective therapeutic strategies. Our company, known for its commitment to delivering high-quality, rigorously validated biological products, ensures these knockout cell lines are meticulously characterized and optimized for your research needs, supporting the advancement of knowledge in the field of metabolic regulation.
