RCAN2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: RCAN2

Official Full Name: regulator of calcineurin 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the regulator of calcineurin (RCAN) protein family. These proteins play a role in many physiological processes by binding to the catalytic domain of calcineurin A, inhibiting calcineurin-mediated nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NFATC1. Expression of this gene in skin fibroblasts is upregulated by thyroid hormone, and the encoded protein may also play a role in endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Background

RCAN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that have undergone precise genetic modification to disrupt the expression of the RCAN2 gene (Regulator of Calcineurin 2). This product is crucial for delineating the role of RCAN2 in various cellular processes, particularly those linked to calcium signaling and the regulation of numerous cellular pathways. By creating a knockout model, researchers can study the phenotypic and molecular consequences of absent RCAN2 activity, allowing for a more profound understanding of its function in health and disease.

The primary mechanism by which RCAN2 influences cellular behavior is through its interaction with calcineurin, a calcium/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase involved in numerous signaling pathways. Knocking out RCAN2 elucidates its regulatory role, revealing the downstream effects on gene transcription, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This investigational capacity makes the RCAN2 knockout cell lines particularly valuable for studying pathophysiological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions.

In research and clinical settings, the scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their utility in drug discovery, therapeutic development, and the elucidation of disease mechanisms. They provide an indispensable tool for researchers aiming to understand how dysregulation of calcium signaling contributes to various disease states.

Compared to traditional methods of studying gene function, such as pharmacological inhibition or overexpression studies, the RCAN2 gene knockout cell lines offer a specific and direct approach, eliminating the confounding factors often seen in alternative methods. This specificity enhances reproducibility and allows for clearer experimental outcomes, making them a preferred choice among researchers focused on pinpointing the contributions of RCAN2 to cellular function and disease.

Investing in the RCAN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines equips researchers and clinicians with a powerful resource for advances in biomedical research. As a leader in the field of genetic engineering, our company prides itself on providing high-quality, rigorously validated cell products that empower scientific inquiry and innovation.
