PNPLA1-flox mouse

Invented by Franz Radner
Invented at University of Graz

Info

Catalogue Number 160872
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 1, ichthyosis, ARCI
Synonyms PNPLA1
Model Conditional KO
Relevance Useful model for the generation of tissue/cell-specific PNPLA1-deficient mice. Animals might be useful for studies, e.g. on skin development/barrier function or omega-O-acylceramide metabolism, or as model for Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis (ARCI).
Production Details A floxed neomycin resistance cassette was inserted upstream of exon 1. An additional loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 1. Cre-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette and left Pnpla1 exon 1 floxed. 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 Targeted 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 regularly backcrossed to C57BL/6J to avoid generation of subpopulations.
Zygosity Homozygous
Research Area Metabolism, Cell Signaling & Signal Transduction
