Former Names B6;129-Scaptm1Gsn/J (Changed: 04-MAY-06 ) Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Dr. Jay D. Horton, Univ of Texas SW Med Center at Dallas Description
Mice that are homozygous for this targeted allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. They posses a loxP-flanked neomycin resistance cassette located 3 kb upstream of exon 1. A third loxP site is located in intron 1. When used in conjunction with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is appropriate for generating tissue-specific knockout mutants of Scap. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies related to cholesterol and fatty acid homeostasis.Development
A targeting vector containing a loxP-flanked neo cassette located 3kb 5' of Scap exon 1 and a third loxP site located in intron 1, was electroporated into 129S6/SvEv-derived SM-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric male animals were mated to C57BL/6 mice.
