-
The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
Exon 1 contains the translation initiation codon.
-
Exons 4 and 5 have been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region: 1.5 kb).
-
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 derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Cre-transgene was removed by segregation.
-
Deletion of exons 4 and 5 should result in loss of function of the Gpr179 gene by deleting part of transmembrane domains and by generating a frame shift from exon 3 to downstream exons (premature Stop codon in exon 6).
