Summary: Enables pattern recognition receptor activity and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of dendritic cell differentiation; negative regulation of leukocyte activation; and positive regulation of type I interferon production. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in embryo mesenchyme; liver left lobe; liver right lobe; olfactory epithelium; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human CLEC12A (C-type lectin domain family 12 member A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Study observed that the uric acid crystal receptor Clec12A functions as a positive modulator of the IFN-I response, which amplifies nucleic acid-sensing pattern recognition receptors signals through the TBK1-IRF3 axis. Clec12a-/- mice exhibit increased susceptibility to acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection and improved virus clearance during chronic LCMV infection in vivo.

The effects of CLEC12A blocking were further validated using CLEC12A knockout (KO) animals wherein EAE disease induction was delayed and reduced disease severity was observed. These studies reveal the utility of a DC-specific mechanism in designing new therapeutics for MS.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
