GlycoErase™ HEK293T GCNT2 Knockout Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0425-JF431)

Description	To further expand the tools available for studying blood group I antigen synthesis, we are pleased to offer a GCNT2 knockout HEK293T cell line. This model lacks the GCNT2-encoded glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 2, the enzyme responsible for I antigen formation. The absence of GCNT2 function in this cell line provides a unique opportunity to investigate the role of I antigen in various biological processes.
