-
The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
Cpxm1 exon 1 contains the translation initiation codon.
-
Exons 8-12 have been flanked by loxP sites.
-
The constitutive KO allele has been generated after Cre-mediated recombination by crossing chimeras to a Cre-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
-
The constitutive KO line has been subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6NTac animals for at least 2 generations and the Cre-transgene was removed by segregation.
-
Deletion of exons 8-12 should result in loss of function of the Cpxm1 gene by deleting the entire carboxypeptidase domain.
-
The remaining recombination sites are located in intron regions of the genome.
-
The corresponding conditional KO allele is available as line 8174.
