Gene: CALR
Official Full Name: calreticulinprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Calreticulin is a highly conserved chaperone protein which resides primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum, and is involved in a variety of cellular processes, among them, cell adhesion. Additionally, it functions in protein folding quality control and calcium homeostasis. Calreticulin is also found in the nucleus, suggesting that it may have a role in transcription regulation. Systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with increased autoantibody titers against calreticulin. Recurrent mutations in calreticulin have been linked to various neoplasms, including the myeloproliferative type.[provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

CALR Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines in which the Calreticulin (CALR) gene has been inactivated or "knocked out". These cell lines serve as a pivotal tool for researchers investigating the role of CALR in various biological processes, including intracellular calcium signaling, protein folding, and cell homeostasis. The knockout of this gene allows scientists to study the phenotypic consequences of CALR deficiency, contributing to the understanding of its involvement in disease mechanisms, particularly in cancer and autoimmune disorders.
The key mechanism underlying the function of CALR gene knockout cell lines is the abolition of CALR protein expression, which is crucial for calcium storage and signaling within the endoplasmic reticulum. This unique cellular environment generated by the absence of CALR can exhibit altered protein maturation and stress responses, allowing researchers to dissect various metabolic pathways and cellular responses that may be obstructed or enhanced due to CALR's absence.
The scientific importance of these cell lines lies in their applications in pharmacological research, gene therapy development, and the elucidation of immune responses. They provide a controlled platform for studying the molecular pathways affected by CALR, thereby facilitating the discovery of potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers relevant to human diseases.
Compared to conventional models, CALR Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer the advantage of specificity and reproducibility. Traditional methods often yield a mixed response of genetic variation, whereas these knockout models allow for precise and consistent evaluation of CALR-related pathways.
For researchers and clinicians, the value of CALR Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated. They represent an essential resource for the advancement of personalized medicine and targeted therapies, offering insights that could lead to innovative treatments for conditions linked to CALR dysfunction.
