Former Names 129S3/-etc (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Strain; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Species laboratory mouse Generation +N1 Donating Investigator Michael Meyer, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich Description
Heterozygous mice exhibit expression of beta-galactosidase in populations of large sensory neurons. Mice homozygous for the Bcl2tm1Mpin targeted mutation do not produce either the a or b form of the Bcl2 protein. Bcl2 is a major regulator of programmed cell death, a critical process in shaping the developing nervous system. The absence of the Bcl2 does not significantly influence the development of motor neurons before or during the main period of physiological cell death. Rather, Bcl2 exerts its influence beyond this period, subsequent to the phase where the majority of neuronal loss normally takes place. Polycystic kidney disease is less severe in this strain compared to the Bcl2tm1Sjk targeted mutation (Stock No. 002265).

| Molecular Note | Exon 2 was disrupted by the insertion of a lacZ gene and neomycin selection cassette. Western blot analysis on hippocampal lysates from homozygous mice demonstrated that no stable Bcl2 protein was made from this allele. A beta-galactosidase protein wasproduced from this allele under the control of the endogenous promoter. [MGI Ref ID J:34326] [MGI Ref ID J:86581] | ||
