GlycoErase™ GYS2 Knockout HEK293 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF409)

Description	GlycoErase™ GYS2 knockout HEK293 cell line is a HEK293 model lacking GYS2 expression. GYS2 encodes liver glycogen synthase, catalyzing the rate-limiting step in glycogen biosynthesis. Mutations are associated with glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0), characterized by fasting hypoglycemia and reduced liver glycogen. This knockout provides a system to investigate hepatic glycogen regulation, glucose homeostasis, and childhood-onset metabolic disease in a human cellular model.
