SLC23A2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: SLC23A2

Official Full Name: solute carrier family 23 member 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: The absorption of vitamin C into the body and its distribution to organs requires two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters. This gene encodes one of the two required transporters and the encoded protein accounts for tissue-specific uptake of vitamin C. Previously, this gene had an official symbol of SLC23A1.

Background

SLC23A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the functional SLC23A2 gene, which encodes the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter (SVCT2). This gene plays a crucial role in the cellular uptake of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), a vital antioxidant that is essential for various metabolic processes and cellular functions. By providing a model for studying the effects of SLC23A2 deficiency, these knockout cell lines enable researchers to elucidate the role of vitamin C in cellular health, stress responses, and disease mechanisms.

The primary function of the SLC23A2 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate the investigation of vitamin C's physiological and pathological roles in a controlled environment. Through the absence of the SLC23A2 gene, researchers can assess the consequences of impaired ascorbic acid uptake on cellular functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress response. Mechanistically, this knockout model allows for detailed studies on how decreased vitamin C levels impact cellular signaling pathways and metabolic processes associated with various diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

The scientific importance of these cell lines is underscored by their applications in both basic research and clinical settings, where they serve as valuable tools for drug development and therapeutic interventions. Understanding the implications of vitamin C transport deficiencies can pave the way for innovative treatments and strategies for diseases characterized by oxidative stress or compromised nutritional statuses.

What sets SLC23A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other models is their specificity and reliability in mimicking the physiological conditions associated with SLC23A2 deficiency. Unlike alternatives that may not accurately reflect the absence of functional transport mechanisms, these knockout models provide clear insights into the impact of disrupted vitamin C transport.

Researchers and clinicians can greatly benefit from these cell lines, as they open new avenues for exploration into the spectrum of vitamin C's biological effects. By investing in SLC23A2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, users are equipped with a powerful research tool that can accelerate discoveries and enhance therapeutic strategies. Our company specializes in cutting-edge genetic engineering techniques and offers a comprehensive range of innovative biological products, ensuring that scientific communities have access to the highest quality models for their research needs.
