Gene: ANTXR1
Official Full Name: ANTXR cell adhesion molecule 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a type I transmembrane protein and is a tumor-specific endothelial marker that has been implicated in colorectal cancer. The encoded protein has been shown to also be a docking protein or receptor for Bacillus anthracis toxin, the causative agent of the disease, anthrax. The binding of the protective antigen (PA) component, of the tripartite anthrax toxin, to this receptor protein mediates delivery of toxin components to the cytosol of cells. Once inside the cell, the other two components of anthrax toxin, edema factor (EF) and lethal factor (LF) disrupt normal cellular processes. Three alternatively spliced variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ANTXR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cellular models designed to lack the anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1) gene, which plays a pivotal role in the uptake of anthrax toxin into host cells. These cell lines are created using advanced CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, ensuring precise and efficient disruption of the ANTXR1 gene, which facilitates the study of anthrax pathogenesis and the corresponding host responses.
The primary function of ANTXR1 knockout cell lines is to elucidate the mechanisms by which Bacillus anthracis exploits this receptor for cellular entry and subsequent toxin delivery. By removing this gene, researchers can investigate downstream signaling pathways affected by toxin activity, assess the cellular responses to anthrax exposure, and explore potential therapeutic interventions. The knockout models also provide an essential platform for high-throughput screening of drugs aimed at inhibiting toxin interactions, making them valuable tools in infectious disease research.
In scientific and clinical settings, ANTXR1 knockout cell lines are instrumental for studying anthrax, a serious and potentially fatal disease. Their applications extend beyond understanding anthrax pathology; they can also contribute to vaccine development and testing the efficacy of novel therapeutics. By utilizing these cell lines, researchers can garner insights into other diseases that utilize similar receptor mechanisms, thus broadening the horizon of biomedical research.
