-
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 6 to 10 have been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region: 2.9 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 the exons 6 to 10 should result in the loss of function of the Soat2 gene by deleting the transmembrane domains TM2 to TM5, and by generating a frameshift from exon 5 to all downstream exons (premature Stop codon in exon 12).
-
According to NCBI and Ensembl databases, the Igfbp6 gene is located upstream of the Soat2 gene in tail-to-head orientation.
-
The corresponding conditional KO allele is available as line 11588.
-
Datamining and Design performed in 2010.
