Vps34- kinase-dead

Invented by Bart Vanhaesebroeck
Invented at Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research

Info

Catalogue Number 158399
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets PIK3C3
Model Knock-In
Production Details Knock-in mice in which the endogenous PIK3C3/vps34 PI3K gene is mutated so that it now encodes a vps34 protein with the D761A mutation in the ATP binding site, converting it to a kinase-dead vps34 protein which is expressed at the same level as wild-type vps34. These mice have been backcrossed onto the B6 background.
Mouse Genetic Background/Cross History Backcrossed onto C57B6/J for more than 10 generations.
Research Area Cancer
Notes Homozygous mice show prenatal partial lethality at early embryonic stages between embryonic day (E) 6.5 and 8.5 (see PMID 29180704 for details). Heterozygous mice are healthy and display a robustly enhanced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance as well as a partial protection against high-fat-diet-induced liver steatosis. (see PMID 29180704 for details).
