-
The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
Exon 2 contains the translation initiation codon.
-
Exon 4 has been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region: 1.3 kb).
-
The conditional KO allele has been generated after Flp-mediated recombination by crossing chimeras to a Flp-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
-
The conditional KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Flp-transgene was removed by segregation.
-
The constitutive KO allele can be generated by Cre-mediated recombination. Deletion of exon 4 should result in loss of function of the Elovl6 gene by deleting the second transmembrane domain and by generating a frameshift from exon 3 to exon 5.
-
The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
-
The corresponding constitutive KO allele is available as line 10813.
