Gene: XYLT2
Official Full Name: xylosyltransferase 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an isoform of xylosyltransferase, which belongs to a family of glycosyltransferases. This enzyme transfers xylose from UDP-xylose to specific serine residues of the core protein and initiates the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycan chains in proteoglycans including chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate, heparin and dermatan sulfate. The enzyme activity, which is increased in scleroderma patients, is a diagnostic marker for the determination of sclerotic activity in systemic sclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

XYLT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are biologically engineered cell lines that specifically lack the XYLT2 gene, which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparan sulfate. The creation of these knockout cell lines involves the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology, providing a highly precise method for gene disruption. This results in a loss of function of the XYLT2 gene, enabling researchers to study the downstream effects of this alteration on cellular processes and signaling pathways.
The key function of the XYLT2 knockout lies in its ability to unravel the complexities of GAG biosynthesis and its impact on cellular behaviors, including growth, migration, and differentiation. By using these cell lines, researchers can effectively investigate the role of heparan sulfate in normal physiology and various disease states, including cancer and developmental disorders. Moreover, these cell lines can serve as valuable tools for drug discovery and validation, particularly in targeting GAG-related pathways.
The scientific importance of XYLT2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines is underscored by their versatility in both basic and applied research. They offer unique insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating cellular communication and can aid in understanding pathophysiological conditions linked to aberrant GAG synthesis. Unlike traditional cell lines, these knockout models provide a clearer framework for investigation due to their targeted gene disruptions.
