-
The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
Gpam exon 2 contains the translation initiation site.
-
Exons 9 and 10 have been flanked by LoxP sites (size of floxed region 1.5 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 exons 9 and 10 should result in loss of function of the Gpam gene by deleting part of the acetyl-transferase domain and by generating a frameshift from exon 8 to exons 11 and 12.
-
Remaining recombination sites will be located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
- The constitutive KO allele is available as line 10910.
