SLC20A2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SLC20A2

Official Full Name: solute carrier family 20 member 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the inorganic phosphate transporter family. The encoded protein is a type 3 sodium-dependent phosphate symporter that plays an important role in phosphate homeostasis by mediating cellular phosphate uptake. The encoded protein also confers susceptibility to viral infection as a gamma-retroviral receptor. Mutations in this gene may play a role in familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Background

SLC20A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are vital tools in the study of phosphate homeostasis and its implications in various physiological and pathological processes. These cell lines have been engineered through precise gene-editing techniques to disrupt the SLC20A2 gene, which encodes the sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2A (PiT-2). This knockout results in the complete loss of PiT-2 function, enabling researchers to investigate the consequences of impaired cellular phosphate uptake and its links to diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

The primary function of SLC20A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to serve as a model system for studying the cellular mechanisms governing phosphate transport and its effect on cellular metabolism. By comparing the knockout cell lines with their wild-type counterparts, researchers can elucidate pathways involved in phosphate signaling, explore compensatory mechanisms that arise from phosphate deprivation, and assess how these pathways influence broader biological processes.

The scientific importance of these cell lines extends to both fundamental research and translational applications. They facilitate the exploration of the role of phosphate in cellular signaling, growth, and differentiation, while also providing a platform for developing therapeutic strategies targeting related diseases. Additionally, these cell lines are particularly useful in pharmaceutical screening, allowing for the assessment of drug efficacy on pathways influenced by SLC20A2 dysregulation.

A key advantage of SLC20A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines compared to existing models is their specificity in mimicking the loss of PiT-2 function without the confounding influence of other phosphate transporters. This specificity enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes and ensures that findings can be directly attributed to changes in the SLC20A2 gene.

Researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of phosphate metabolism and its broader implications in health and disease will find these knockout cell lines invaluable. Offering high reproducibility and a well-characterized genetic background, they represent a significant step forward in preclinical research stages. Our company is dedicated to advancing biomedical research through the development of high-quality biological products, including tailored knockout cell lines that empower scientific discovery and innovation.
