Inducible knockout of Clec16a in mice results in sensory neurodegeneration

Abstract CLEC16A has been shown to play a role in autophagy/mitophagy processes. Additionally, genetic variants in CLEC16A have been implicated in multiple autoimmune diseases. We generated an inducible whole-body knockout, Clec16a ΔUBC mice, to investigate the loss of function of CLEC16A. The mice...
