Gene: SPTBN2
Official Full Name: spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Spectrins are principle components of a cell's membrane-cytoskeleton and are composed of two alpha and two beta spectrin subunits. The protein encoded by this gene (SPTBN2), is called spectrin beta non-erythrocytic 2 or beta-III spectrin. It is related to, but distinct from, the beta-II spectrin gene which is also known as spectrin beta non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1). SPTBN2 regulates the glutamate signaling pathway by stabilizing the glutamate transporter EAAT4 at the surface of the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause a form of spinocerebellar ataxia, SCA5, that is characterized by neurodegeneration, progressive locomotor incoordination, dysarthria, and uncoordinated eye movements.

SPTBN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically developed cellular models that facilitate the investigation of the SPTBN2 gene's functional roles and its contributions to cellular processes. SPTBN2 encodes a member of the spectrin family, which plays crucial roles in maintaining the cytoskeleton's integrity, anchoring membrane proteins, and facilitating cellular signaling pathways. The knockout of SPTBN2 gene expression is achieved through advanced genome editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, which removes or disrupts specific genomic sequences to enable researchers to study the resultant phenotypic changes.
The primary function of SPTBN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is to elucidate the biological pathways associated with spectrin function, which can be pivotal in understanding various pathologies, including neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. By examining the cellular responses in SPTBN2-deficient models, researchers can uncover mechanisms of disease progression, therapeutic targets, and the overarching role of the cytoskeletal framework in cellular health.
The scientific importance of these cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They serve as invaluable tools for pharmacological studies, allowing for high-throughput screening of compounds that influence spectrin-associated pathways. Additionally, they contribute to research on cell adhesion, migration, and intracellular signaling, thereby advancing knowledge in fields like developmental biology and pathology.
When compared to alternative models, SPTBN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide improved specificity, as they directly disrupt the targeted gene rather than employing broader methods that may inadvertently affect multiple pathways and cellular functions. This specificity enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes and interpretations.
For researchers and clinicians aiming to dissect the roles of spectrins in health and disease, SPTBN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer a robust platform for generating insights that can translate into therapeutic advancements or novel biomarker discoveries.
