ABHD5 knock out mouse
Invented by Franz Radner at University of Graz
Catalogue Number | 160869 |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | abhydrolase domain containing 5, comparative gene identification-58, Chanarin-Dorfman, Ichthyosis |
Synonyms | ABHD5, CGI-58 |
Model | Conditional KO |
Relevance | Useful model for the generation of tissue/cell specific ABHD5-deficient mice. Animals might be useful for studies, e.g. on energy metabolism or skin barrier development/function. |
Production Details | A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 4 and a floxed neomycin resistance cassette was inserted downstream of exon 7. Cre-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette and left Abhd5 exon 4 – 7 flanked by loxP sites. Further details are available upon request. |
Breeding Information | Good breeder. Homozygous mice may be bred together to maintain a live colony. |
Conditional | Yes |
Conditional Description | Conditional ready |
Growth/Phenotype Keywords | These mice are conditional ready, and phenotypical identical to C57BL/6J mice. |
Strain | C57BL/6J |
Mouse Genetic Background/Cross History | These mice were generated using HM1-ES cells. ES cell clones were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts to enable coat colour selection of the chimeras. Mice were subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6J (≥ 10 generations). When kept as a homozygous colony, mice are backcrossed to C57BL/6J regularly to avoid generation of subpopulations. |
Zygosity | Homozygous |
Research Area | Metabolism, Developmental Biology |
