Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
- Tool name: Mrp2 Knock Out Mouse
- Alternate name: Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2, MRP2, cMOAT, ABCC2
- Tool sub type: Mouse
- Model: Conditional KO
- Model description: This strain encodes a disruption of the Abcc2 gene which codes for multidrug resistance protein 2.
- Conditional: Yes
- Description: Multidrug resistance associated protein 2 is a member of the super family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. These proteins are involved in transport of various molecules across extra and intracellular membranes.
- Application: Useful for the examination of compound uptake and elimination mechanisms as well as studies on drug resistance in tumors.
- Genetic background: The model was created by targeting the Abcc2 gene in 129/Ola-derived E14 ES cells and injecting the targeted cells into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed to FVB/N for seven generations.
- Phenotype: Albino
- Zygosity: The colony is maintained by mating homozygotes. Wild type for Nnt mutation; carries Pde6brd1 mutation
- Production details: The model was created by targeting the Abcc2 gene in 129/Ola-derived E14 ES cells and injecting the targeted cells into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed to FVB/N for seven generations.
- Additional notes: This strain encodes a disruption of the Abcc2 gene which codes for multidrug resistance protein 2. Useful for the examination of compound uptake and elimination mechanisms as well as studies on drug resistance in tumors. The Mrp2 mouse was developed in the laboratory of Alfred Schinkel of the Netherlands Cancer Institute.
