Gene: VIPR2
Official Full Name: vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide, a small neuropeptide. Vasoactive intestinal peptide is involved in smooth muscle relaxation, exocrine and endocrine secretion, and water and ion flux in lung and intestinal epithelia. Its actions are effected through integral membrane receptors associated with a guanine nucleotide binding protein which activates adenylate cyclase. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

VIPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specially designed cellular models in which the vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 2 (VIPR2) gene has been inactivated through targeted gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9. These cell lines provide a unique platform to study the biological roles of VIPR2, a receptor implicated in various physiological processes, including neurobiology, immune response, and metabolic regulation.
The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to allow researchers to investigate the specific signaling pathways and cellular responses influenced by VIPR2. With the receptor absent, scientists can elucidate the downstream effects of VIP signaling, assess compensatory mechanisms in knockout contexts, and explore the implications of VIPR2 deficiency on cellular behavior. This functionality makes VIPR2 knockout cell lines essential for both basic and applied research, contributing to our understanding of diseases associated with VIPR2 dysregulation, such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
The scientific significance of VIPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to their applications in drug development and therapeutic research. By providing a model to screen potential therapeutic compounds that target or modulate VIP signaling pathways, these cell lines serve as valuable tools in preclinical studies. Compared to alternative models, such as wild-type cells or other knockout strains, the specificity of VIPR2 knockout ensures that observed effects are directly attributable to the absence of this receptor, thereby enhancing data reliability.
In summary, VIPR2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are indispensable for researchers and clinicians focused on unraveling the complexities of VIP signaling pathways and the development of innovative therapies. Their unique advantages, coupled with our company's extensive expertise in cutting-edge gene editing technologies and cellular models, position us as your trusted partner in advancing biological research and therapeutic discovery.
