Gene: TCTN2
Official Full Name: tectonic family member 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type I membrane protein that belongs to the tectonic family. Studies in mice suggest that this protein may be involved in hedgehog signaling, and essential for ciliogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with Meckel syndrome type 8. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

TCTN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models specifically designed to functionally study the TCTN2 gene, which plays a critical role in cilia formation and signaling pathways. By employing clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology, these cell lines have been meticulously generated to lack functional TCTN2 expression, allowing for in-depth investigation of its contributions to cellular processes, organismal development, and disease states.
The primary mechanism of action relies on the precise deletion of gene sequences involved in the coding of the TCTN2 protein, enabling researchers to observe phenotypic changes and alterations in biochemical pathways that arise from TCTN2 deficiency. This is particularly valuable in the context of studying diseases where cilia dysfunction is implicated, such as polycystic kidney disease and certain neurological disorders, allowing for the exploration of potential therapeutic avenues.
The scientific significance of TCTN2 knockout cell lines lies in their capacity to serve as platforms for drug discovery, functional genomics, and pathway analysis. They are instrumental in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying TCTN2-related pathophysiology, providing essential insights that conventional models may not offer.
Compared to alternative gene editing tools or knockout models, these cell lines provide a reliable, reproducible, and stable genetic modification, ensuring consistency across experiments. Furthermore, they are compatible with a variety of assays, including high-throughput screening and flow cytometry, making them versatile for diverse research applications.
For researchers and clinicians focused on understanding the complexities of ciliary function or related disorders, TCTN2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a valuable addition to their toolkit. Their ability to facilitate novel research breakthroughs while enhancing experimental validity underscores their importance in advancing biomedical science.
