Gene: CLEC4A
Official Full Name: C-type lectin domain family 4 member Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in inflammatory and immune response. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members on chromosome 12p13 in the natural killer gene complex region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

CLEC4A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models designed to study the functions and biological roles of the CLEC4A gene, also known as Dendritic Cell-Specific Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-3-Grabbing Non-integrin (DC-SIGN). These cell lines have been engineered to have precise deletions in the CLEC4A gene, enabling researchers to investigate the gene's contributions to various immunological processes, pathogen interactions, and immune response dynamics.
The functional mechanism of CLEC4A involves its role in mediating immune responses, particularly in the recognition and binding of a wide range of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. By employing CRISPR-Cas9 technology for gene knockout, these cell lines provide a robust platform for dissecting the signaling pathways and cellular interactions mediated by CLEC4A. Researchers can utilize these models to assess how the absence of this receptor affects dendritic cell maturation, T cell activation, and overall immune system functioning.
In terms of scientific importance, CLEC4A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable in both fundamental research and clinical applications. They offer insights into immune evasion strategies employed by pathogens and can aid in the development of therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases, as well as for vaccines that target specific immune pathways.
Compared to traditional models, these knockout cell lines provide heightened specificity and reproducibility, minimizing off-target effects associated with other genetic modification approaches. Their unique ability to eliminate CLEC4A expression allows for clearer interpretation of experimental results. Furthermore, they facilitate high-throughput screening of compounds aimed at modulating immune responses, making them exceptional tools for pharmaceutical development.
The value of CLEC4A Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies not only in their scientific and practical applications but also in their ability to advance our understanding of complex immune mechanisms. As researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical developers strive to create novel strategies for immune modulation, these cell lines offer a critical resource for innovation.
