Gene: TJP2
Official Full Name: tight junction protein 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a zonula occluden that is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog family. The encoded protein functions as a component of the tight junction barrier in epithelial and endothelial cells and is necessary for proper assembly of tight junctions. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with hypercholanemia, and genomic duplication of a 270 kb region including this gene causes autosomal dominant deafness-51. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

TJP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to study the role and function of the TJP2 gene, which encodes the tight junction protein ZO-2. These cell lines have undergone targeted gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9, to disrupt the TJP2 gene, allowing researchers to investigate the downstream effects of its absence on cellular processes like junctional integrity, signal transduction, and cellular adhesion. By creating a model that lacks functional TJP2 protein, scientists can assess how its loss impacts tight junction formation and maintenance, which is critical for epithelial barrier function.
The key mechanisms through which TJP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines function involve the disruption of tight junction assembly and signaling pathways associated with cell-to-cell adhesion. This knockout model permits comprehensive studies into disease states where tight junction dysregulation is implicated, such as inflammatory bowel disease, cancer metastasis, and other pathologies characterized by altered epithelial permeability. By providing a clear in vitro platform to mimic these conditions, the TJP2 knockout cell lines have significant implications for both basic and applied research.
Compared to wild-type cell lines, TJP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unparalleled specificity for delineating the direct impacts of TJP2 loss on cellular behavior, making them a pivotal tool for advancing our understanding of epithelial biology. Their development is particularly advantageous for researchers focusing on targeted therapeutics, as they can facilitate the identification of molecular pathways that might be exploited for intervention in diseases related to tight junction dysfunction.
The value of TJP2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends beyond mere convenience; they allow for precision studies that can lead to innovative therapeutic strategies and biomarker development. Researchers and clinicians aiming to unravel the complexities of tight junction-associated diseases will find these cell lines indispensable for experimental validation and hypothesis testing.
