The LRRK2 gene, also known as leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, is located on chromosome 12 (12q12) and is responsible for the production of the LRRK2 protein, a large multidomain protein that belongs to the ROCO protein family. The LRRK2 protein has multiple functional domains, including the leucine-rich repeats, the Roc (Ras of complexin) GTPase domain, the C-terminal of the Roc (COR) domain, and the kinase domain. The protein is involved in various cellular pathways, such as vesicle trafficking, mitochondrial function, and autophagy. These pathways are essential for maintaining cellular health and function, especially in neurons. Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). The most prominent mutation is G2019S, in which the glycine at position 2019 is replaced by a serine. This and other mutations in the LRRK2 gene can lead to abnormal kinase activity, which can cause neuronal damage and degeneration. In addition to Parkinson's disease, LRRK2 has also been implicated in Crohn's disease and leprosy, suggesting a role in immune response and inflammation. Currently, inhibitors of LRRK2 kinase activity are being developed and tested in clinical trials, offering hope for new treatments for PD and other diseases that may be associated with LRRK2 dysfunction.
Human LRRK2 Knockout Cell Line - Jurkat is a valuable tool for biomedical research. Here are the main applications of this cell line: Neuroscience Research: The LRRK2 gene is closely associated with neurological diseases, especially Parkinson's disease. By using the LRRK2 knockout Jurkat cell line, researchers can study the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal dysfunction and degeneration, gaining insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating or managing Parkinson's disease. Drug Screening and Development: This cell line allows for high-throughput screening of chemical compounds. This application is critical for the discovery of new drugs that can mimic or inhibit LRRK2 activity, providing a pathway to develop new treatments for diseases where LRRK2 plays an important role. Immunology Research: LRRK2 is known to play a role in the regulation of immune responses. The Jurkat cell line is a T lymphocyte model and is an excellent candidate cell for studying the interaction of LRRK2 with immune cell signaling pathways. Cancer Research: Aberrant expression of LRRK2 has been associated with various cancers. Using the human LRRK2 knockout Jurkat cell line, researchers can study the role of LRRK2 in cancer cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis. This can identify new biomarkers for cancer diagnostics and potential therapeutic targets. Pathway Analysis: LRRK2 is part of several important signaling pathways, and the knockout cell line allows for detailed pathway analysis to understand how the deletion affects cell signaling and homeostasis.
Customer Q&As
How is the knockout cell line validated?

A: The knockout cell product is validated by PCR amplification and Sanger Sequencing to confirm the mutation at the genomic level. Please find the detailed mutation info in the datasheet.

Is the product a single clonal cell or mixed cell pool?

A: Single clonal cell.

Can I confirm gene knockout by RT-qPCR?

A: No. This knockout cell product is generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce small insertions or deletions (indels) resulting in frameshift mutations. Although these frameshift mutations typically disrupt the coding gene, there is a possibility that the non-functional transcript may still be transcribed. Consequently, this could potentially yield misleading results when analyzed by RT-qPCR.

How can I store the cell product?

A: The cell line should be stored in liquid nitrogen for long-term preservation.

Is it possible to get multiple knockout clones for my GOI?

A: For most cases, we often keep at least 2 clones with different frameshift mutations. Please feel free to contact us to check if there are additional available clones.
