ST6GAL2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: ST6GAL2

Official Full Name: ST6 beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This locus encodes a sialyltransferase. The encoded type II transmembrane protein catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP to an oligosaccharide substrate. Polymorphisms at this locus may be associated with variations in risperidone response in schizophrenic patients. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Background

ST6GAL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular systems specifically designed to facilitate research into the biological functions and disease associations of the ST6GAL2 gene, which encodes a specific glycosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of sialylated glycoconjugates. These cell lines are created through targeted deletion of the ST6GAL2 gene, thereby enabling researchers to investigate the role of sialic acid modifications on cell signaling, adhesion, and immune interactions.

The primary function of the ST6GAL2 knockout cell lines lies in their ability to provide insights into the consequences of sialic acid alterations on cellular behaviors and physiological processes. Sialylation is known to affect various cellular mechanisms including tumor progression, immune evasion, and pathogen-host interactions. By utilizing these knockout lines, researchers can delineate how the absence of ST6GAL2 affects glycosylation patterns and subsequently impacts cell physiology and pathology.

In terms of scientific importance, these cell lines are invaluable tools in both research and clinical settings. They enable the study of cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases where ST6GAL2's roles are implicated. Moreover, these cell lines serve as essential models for drug development and testing, providing a more accurate representation of disease states without the confounding effects of the ST6GAL2 gene.

What sets ST6GAL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines apart from other cell models is their specificity and reliability, ensuring reproducibility and validity in experimental outcomes. Unlike conventional models that may show variability due to endogenous expression levels of sialyltransferases, our knockout lines present a defined genetic background, enabling greater precision in studies.

For researchers and clinicians committed to advancing knowledge in glycosylation's critical role in health and disease, ST6GAL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are an essential addition to their experimental toolkit. These cell lines offer a robust platform for dissecting molecular pathways, ultimately paving the way for novel therapeutic strategies.

Our company specializes in the development and provision of cutting-edge biological tools tailored to meet the needs of the scientific community. We are dedicated to ensuring that our products, including the ST6GAL2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, enable impactful research and innovation in biology and medicine.
