UGGT2 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: UGGT2

Official Full Name: UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 2provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGT) is a soluble protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that selectively reglucosylates unfolded glycoproteins, thus providing quality control for protein transport out of the ER.[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]

Background

UGGT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specifically engineered cellular models that disrupt the expression of the UGGT2 gene, a key player in the protein quality control mechanism within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). By creating these knockout cell lines, researchers can effectively study the role that UGGT2 plays in processes such as glycoprotein folding and degradation, as well as its implications in various disorders linked to protein misfolding.

The primary function of UGGT2 involves the recognition and binding of misfolded glycoproteins, ultimately facilitating their retention in the ER until they are correctly folded or targeted for degradation via the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. The UGGT2 knockout cell lines provide a unique opportunity to dissect the consequences of UGGT2 loss, allowing researchers to delve into protein folding dynamics, stress responses in the ER, and related metabolic pathways. These models can significantly contribute to our understanding of diseases associated with protein misfolding, such as cystic fibrosis and various neurodegenerative diseases.

In the realm of research and clinical applications, UGGT2 gene knockout cell lines stand out by providing a pragmatic approach for studying drug interactions, therapeutic targets, or potential biopharmaceutical applications aimed at correcting misfolding diseases. Unlike traditional cell lines, which may express varying levels of UGGT2, these knockout lines offer a consistent background for experiments, reducing experimental variability and enhancing reproducibility.

Researchers and clinicians will find this product invaluable for several reasons: its unique ability to model disease states resulting from loss of function, utility in screening for compounds that may restore proper protein folding, and the potential for informing therapeutic strategies in misfolding diseases. Furthermore, these cell lines facilitate the study of compensatory mechanisms triggered by the absence of UGGT2, thereby offering insights that could pave the way for innovative clinical interventions.

At [Your Company Name], we pride ourselves on our extensive expertise in the development of high-quality biological products aimed at advancing research.
