Cryopreserved - Ready for recovery
The SK3T mutant allele has a tetracycline-based genetic switch inserted into the 5' UTR of the targeted gene, just upstream of the translation initiation site. This genetic switch harbors both the tetracycline-controlled transactivator protein (tTA) as well as the tetracycline operator (tetO; also called tetracycline-responsive element (TRE) or tet-operator); allowing transcription of the downstream Kcnn3 locus to be blocked by administration of tetracycline (or its analog doxycycline (dox)). SK3-tTA homozygotes (SK3T/T) exhibit approximately three-fold overexpression of SK3 before dox treatment, and SK3 expression is effectively eliminated by addition of dox. Heterozygous mice exhibit similar expression from both their wild-type and SK3T mutant allele before dox treatment, and no SK3 expression from the mutant allele during dox treatment. In the absence of dox, homozygous mice exhibit abnormal respiratory responses to hypoxia. Homozygous .....
