CLEC-3A CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h): sc-417520
- Target species: human
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- CLEC-3A CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids, each encoding Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed for maximum knockout efficiency using sequences derived from the GeCKO v2 library
- gRNA sequences direct Cas9 to induce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the CLEC-3A genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
- The puromycin resistance and RFP genes are flanked by LoxP sites, enabling removal of selection markers via Cre recombinase (Cre Vector: sc-418923) after establishing stable knockout cell lines

Overview
CLEC3A encodes CLEC-3A, a secreted C-type lectin domain–containing protein implicated in extracellular matrix organization and cell–matrix communication. CLEC-3A has been linked to modulation of collagen interactions and tissue remodeling processes that intersect with adhesion, migration, and inflammatory microenvironment signaling. In human tissues, altered CLEC3A expression has been reported across contexts of fibrosis, wound repair, and tumor-associated stroma, supporting its use as a marker and mechanistic node in remodeling-driven phenotypes. These properties make CLEC3A relevant for studying how lectin-like proteins shape extracellular cues that influence epithelial–mesenchymal behavior and immune cell trafficking.
CLEC-3A CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the CLEC3A gene in human cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the CLEC3A together with the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nuclease. The plasmids also encode GFP, allowing fluorescent identification and enrichment of successfully transfected cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
The multi-guide design increases the likelihood of generating insertions or deletions (indels) that disrupt the CLEC3A open reading frame following Cas9-mediated double-strand break formation. DNA breaks introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system are repaired through endogenous non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways, frequently resulting in frameshift mutations that abolish CLEC-3A protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of CLEC3A-deficient cell models for investigation of CLEC-3A signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by CLEC-3A CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) and CLEC-3A CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h2) target distinct sites within the CLEC3A locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by CLEC-3A HDR Plasmid (h) and CLEC-3A HDR Plasmid (h2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by CLEC3A homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined CLEC3A target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
