Gene: COLEC11
Official Full Name: collectin subfamily member 11provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the collectin family of C-type lectins that possess collagen-like sequences and carbohydrate recognition domains. Collectins are secreted proteins that play important roles in the innate immune system by binding to carbohydrate antigens on microorganisms, facilitating their recognition and removal. The encoded protein binds to multiple sugars with a preference for fucose and mannose. Mutations in this gene are a cause of 3MC syndrome-2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

COLEC11 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cellular models that have been engineered to lack the COLEC11 gene, which encodes a member of the C-type lectin family involved in innate immunity and pathogen recognition. These knockout cell lines provide researchers with a powerful tool to investigate the functional role of COLEC11 in biological processes, such as immune response, cellular signaling, and pathogen-host interactions. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology, these cell lines are created to ensure a precise and efficient knockout, enabling studies that require genetically modified systems.
The key mechanism of these cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate the examination of COLEC11-mediated processes without the confounding influence of the native gene. Researchers can assess changes in cytokine production, phagocytosis, and overall immune activation, providing insights into how COLEC11 influences these critical cellular pathways. This allows for targeted investigations into diseases where innate immunity plays a pivotal role, such as infections and autoimmune disorders.
Scientifically, these cell lines are invaluable in both academic and clinical research settings. They enable high-throughput screening for potential drug candidates or therapeutics aimed at modulating immune responses. Additionally, the COLEC11 knockout model may lead to novel discoveries regarding susceptibility to infections or elucidate the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of immunotherapies.
Compared to traditional cell lines that express the COLEC11 gene, these knockout models offer a unique advantage for studying the gene's specific functions in isolation. This specificity enhances the clarity of experimental results and minimizes potential variabilities introduced by the presence of the target gene.
For researchers and clinicians, the COLEC11 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent a significant advancement in the study of innate immunity. The ability to manipulate and understand the role of COLEC11 could pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies in immunological research. Our company, known for its commitment to innovation and quality in biological products, ensures that these cell lines are rigorously validated and optimized for consistent performance, making them an indispensable asset to your research toolkit.
