SCARB2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SCARB2

Official Full Name: scavenger receptor class B member 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a type III glycoprotein that is located primarily in limiting membranes of lysosomes and endosomes. Earlier studies in mice and rat suggested that this protein may participate in membrane transportation and the reorganization of endosomal/lysosomal compartment. The protein deficiency in mice was reported to impair cell membrane transport processes and cause pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy. Further studies in human showed that this protein is a ubiquitously expressed protein and that it is involved in the pathogenesis of HFMD (hand, foot, and mouth disease) caused by enterovirus-71 and possibly by coxsackievirus A16. Mutations in this gene caused an autosomal recessive progressive myoclonic epilepsy-4 (EPM4), also known as action myoclonus-renal failure syndrome (AMRF). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Background

SCARB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines where the SCARB2 (scavenger receptor class B member 2) gene has been selectively disrupted or knocked out. This innovative product allows researchers to investigate the functions of the SCARB2 gene, which is implicated in lipid metabolism, cellular cholesterol balance, and various disease processes including neurodegeneration and fibrosis. By providing a model system devoid of SCARB2 expression, these knockout cell lines enable a clearer understanding of the gene's role in physiological and pathological conditions.

The key function of these cell lines lies in their ability to elucidate the downstream effects of SCARB2 deficiency. This includes studies on altered cellular signaling pathways, lipid uptake mechanisms, and inflammatory responses. Through techniques such as gene expression analysis and proteomics, researchers can discern the functional consequences of SCARB2 loss and its contribution to disease mechanisms.

In the scientific community, SCARB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines have valuable applications in basic research, drug discovery, and preclinical studies. They offer a crucial platform for assessing the efficacy of therapeutic agents targeting SCARB2-related pathways, thereby facilitating the development of novel treatments for conditions such as atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and metabolic disorders.

One of the specific advantages of using SCARB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is their reliability and reproducibility, compared to transient knockdown models that may yield inconsistent results. Additionally, these cell lines are tailored for ease of use; they are compatible with various culture conditions making them versatile for different experimental setups.

For researchers and clinicians aiming to explore the complexities of SCARB2 in health and disease, these knockout models provide indispensable tools for rigorous scientific investigation. By employing our SCARB2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, users can gain insights that may lead to significant breakthroughs in understanding and treating SCARB2-related disorders. Our company is committed to advancing biological research through high-quality, reliable products developed with extensive expertise in genetic engineering and cell line development.
