CLEC7A Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: CLEC7A

Official Full Name: C-type lectin domain containing 7Aprovided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. The encoded glycoprotein is a small type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-type lectin-like domain fold and a cytoplasmic domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif. It functions as a pattern-recognition receptor that recognizes a variety of beta-1,3-linked and beta-1,6-linked glucans from fungi and plants, and in this way plays a role in innate immune response. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. 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]

Background

CLEC7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models engineered to lack the C-type lectin receptor 7A (CLEC7A), also known as Dectin-1. This receptor plays a pivotal role in the innate immune response by recognizing β-glucans found in fungal cell walls, thereby facilitating phagocytosis and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The knockout of the CLEC7A gene creates a unique platform for researchers to study the implications of compromised immune recognition and response pathways in fungal infections, autoimmunity, and inflammatory diseases.

The functionality of CLEC7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to provide insights into the specific pathways activated in the absence of this key receptor. By observing cellular responses, signaling cascades, and gene expression profiles under varied conditions, researchers can unravel the mechanisms of immune modulation and identify therapeutic targets for manipulating immune responses.

These cell lines hold substantial scientific importance and have numerous applications in both research and clinical settings. They are essential tools for understanding the mechanisms underlying pathogenicity of fungi, as well as aerobiologically transmitted infections. Furthermore, they can assist in preclinical testing of drug candidates aimed at modulating immune responses, thus advancing therapeutic development

Compared to alternative cell models, the CLEC7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer significant advantages, including precise gene editing through CRISPR-Cas9 technology, resulting in reliable and reproducible results. This model eliminates off-target effects common in pharmacological inhibition methods, leading to clearer interpretation of data and improved efficiency in experimental outcomes.

In light of the rising prevalence of fungal diseases and associated immune disorders, the CLEC7A Gene Knockout Cell Lines provide researchers and clinicians with critical tools to develop new strategies and interventions. Our company specializes in delivering high-quality genetic models rigorously tested for performance and reliability, empowering scientists to push the boundaries of immunological research and innovation.
