Gene: VARS2
Official Full Name: valyl-tRNA synthetase 2, mitochondrialprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which catalyzes the attachment of valine to tRNA(Val) for mitochondrial translation. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-20, and are also associated with early-onset mitochondrial encephalopathies. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

VARS2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to facilitate the investigation of the VARS2 gene, which codes for mitochondrial valyl-tRNA synthetase—a critical enzyme involved in protein synthesis within mitochondria. These cell lines have been meticulously developed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to create targeted deletions within the VARS2 gene, allowing researchers to study the resultant phenotypic effects and molecular pathways influenced by its absence.
The key function of VARS2 gene knockout cell lines is to aid in the elucidation of the gene's role in mitochondrial function and associated metabolic processes. By disrupting the expression of the VARS2 gene, these cell lines enable the analysis of cellular responses to mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby providing insights into various diseases linked to mitochondrial anomalies, such as neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic syndromes. Researchers can employ these models to explore therapeutic interventions or drug responses, making them invaluable in both basic and applied biomedical research.
The scientific importance of VARS2 gene knockout cell lines is underscored by their relevance in translational research; they serve as platforms for drug discovery, biomarker identification, and understanding disease mechanisms. Their precision in mimicking relevant pathophysiological conditions enhances their utility in preclinical studies, thereby accelerating the path toward clinical applications.
Compared to alternative models, VARS2 gene knockout cell lines streamline the investigation of mitochondrial dysfunction by providing a direct, genetically defined system without the variability inherent in traditional models. Their ease of use and reproducibility simplify experiments while yielding high-fidelity data that enhances confidence in research findings.
For researchers and clinicians focused on mitochondrial biology and disease pathology, these cell lines represent a powerful tool for advancing knowledge and developing innovative therapeutic strategies.
