Overview of Gene Research
Sdf2l1, stromal cell-derived factor 2-like 1, is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized protein. It plays a crucial role in regulating ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER homeostasis. Sdf2l1 is involved in pathways related to metabolism, cell proliferation, and immune-related peptide processing, and thus is of great biological importance [3,4,5]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout mouse models, have been valuable in studying its functions.

In liver-specific Sdf2l1-suppressed mice, there is insulin resistance, increased triglyceride content, and sustained ER stress, indicating its importance in glucose and lipid homeostasis [1]. In nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, silencing Sdf2l1 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, suggesting it may act as a tumor suppressor gene [2]. In Cohen Diabetic rats with a deletion in Sdf2l1, there is dysregulated unfolded protein response (UPR), enhanced ER stress, and impaired insulin secretion, contributing to diabetes pathophysiology [6]. In Schwann cells, Sdf2l1 down-regulation, as seen in diabetic mice, inhibits cell autophagy and neurotrophin expression by impeding the nuclear import of TFEB and CREB via KPNA3 down-regulation [7].

In summary, Sdf2l1 is essential for maintaining ER homeostasis and normal cellular functions. Its dysregulation is associated with various diseases, including obesity-related diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NPC, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Studies using gene knockout models in mice and rats have significantly contributed to understanding its role in these disease conditions.
