TERF2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TERF2

Official Full Name: telomeric repeat binding factor 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a telomere specific protein, TERF2, which is a component of the telomere nucleoprotein complex. This protein is present at telomeres in metaphase of the cell cycle, is a second negative regulator of telomere length and plays a key role in the protective activity of telomeres. While having similar telomere binding activity and domain organization, TERF2 differs from TERF1 in that its N terminus is basic rather than acidic. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background

TERF2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are sophisticated biological products engineered to facilitate the in-depth study of telomere biology and cellular senescence. The TERF2 gene encodes a crucial component of the shelterin complex, which protects chromosome ends and regulates telomere length. By utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 technology, these knockout cell lines have had the TERF2 gene disrupted, allowing researchers to unravel the functional roles of telomeres and the molecular mechanisms behind cellular aging and genomic stability.

The primary mechanism by which TERF2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines operate involves the loss of shelterin protein function, leading to telomere decompaction, activation of DNA damage responses, and ultimately, cellular senescence or apoptosis. This model is indispensable when investigating the pathways involved in age-related diseases, cancer progression, and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions aimed at telomere maintenance.

In terms of scientific relevance, these cell lines are pivotal in numerous research and clinical applications. They provide a vital tool for studying the impact of telomere dysfunction on cellular behavior, as well as in drug development aimed at targeting senescent cells. Their ability to recreate telomere-related pathologies enables researchers to gain insights into conditions such as dyskeratosis congenita and various forms of cancer, enhancing our understanding of their underlying mechanisms.

The unique selling points of our TERF2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines include their high specificity, robust genetic validation, and reproducibility, setting them apart from alternative cell models. Additionally, our cell lines are complemented by comprehensive technical support and protocols, ensuring that researchers can effectively design and implement their experiments.

For researchers and clinicians, the value of TERF2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their potential to reveal novel insights into the biology of aging and disease, offering a pathway to innovative therapeutic strategies. With a commitment to excellence in biological research tools, our company leverages years of expertise to provide high-quality products that stand at the forefront of scientific advancement.
