| Homozygous mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, have normal expression of hamartin (the targeted gene's protein product), have no growth or behavioral defects, and are devoid of tumors through age 18 months. This mutant carries a "floxed" allele of the endogenous gene. When combined with a mutant carrying a Cre recombinase gene under the control of a promoter of interest, exons 17 and 18 of Tsc1 are deleted in the tissue of interest. This mutant may be useful in many tissue-specific studies including tuberous sclerosis or other hamartoma syndromes, regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and motility, cellular and organismal glucose homeostasis, cell growth responses, apoptosis regulation, and regulation of cell size.
When bred to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in neuronal cells (see Stock No. 003966 for example), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of tuberous sclerosis.
