| Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation exhibit spontaneous seizures in some mice at age 6 to 8 weeks. Homozygous mice are susceptible to seizures induced by GABA antagonist treatment. Mutant mice have an increased sensitivity to leptin treatment which results in a greater initial reduction of food intake and weight loss when compared to wildtype mice. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies related to the role of neuropeptide Y in obesity. | |||||||||||||||||||

Strain Information
Type Mutant Strain; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N?+F?+F15 (24-MAR-11)
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Dr. Richard Palmiter, University of Washington Description
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. No gene product (mRNA or protein) is detected by Northern or Western blot analysis of brain or adrenal gland tissue. Beta-galactosidase activity assays and in situ hybridization demonstrate similar expression patterns for the lacZ gene and the endogenous wildtype gene. Spontaneous seizures are exhibited by some mice at age 6 to 8 weeks. Homozygous mice are susceptible to seizures induced by GABA antagonist treatment. Mutant mice have an increased sensitivity to leptin treatment which results in a greater initial reduction of food intake and weight loss when compared to wildtype mice. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies related to the role of neuropeptide Y in obesity.Development
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance, thymidine kinase and lacZ reporter genes was used to disrupt exon 2 of the targeted gene. The construct was electroporated into 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt+ derived AB1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts.

| Molecular Note | Exon 2, which encodes the signal peptide and 35 amino acids, was replaced by a lacZ-neo fusion gene. The expression pattern of the beta-galactosidase was shown to resemble that of the endogenous gene via comparisons of X-gal staining and previous in situhybridization studies.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise
The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.Ordering Information
