| Genetic information | Mutant mice in which the endogenous Pik3c3 (PIK3C3/Vps34 PI3K) gene is mutated so that it now encodes a protein with the D761A mutation in the ATP binding site, converting it to a kinase-dead PIK3C3 (Vps34) protein, which is expressed at the same level as the wild-type. These mice have been backcrossed onto the C57BL/6 background. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Mice show prenatal partial lethality at early embryonic stages between embryonic day E6.5 and 8.5 (for details see Bilanges B. et al., 2017, PubMed ID: 29180704).Heterozygous:Heterozygous mice are healthy and display a robustly enhanced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance as well as partial protection against high fat diet-induced liver steatosis. |
| Breeding history | Backcrossed onto C57BL/6J for more than 10 generations. |
