Strain Description
Homozygous mice have reduced viability, especially on a C57BL/6 background. Approximately 1 out of 4 homozygotes are very small and die before reaching 2 weeks of age. The remaining homozygotes are 20-30% smaller than wildtype and heterozygous littermates; these survive and eventually become similar in size to wildtypes. All homozygotes have a characteristic craniofacial defect that includes a very pointed nose, eyes that are delayed in opening, and a shortened jaw. The alpha transcript of the gene is absent, as determined by brain mRNA and protein assays. Beta transcript RNA is present in heart and brain.

Strain Development
A targeting vector was designed to replace exon 2 with an IRES, LacZ, URA and neomycin cassette and thus inhibit the production of the alpha alternative transcript. The vector was injected into 129-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells. This line (line T14) has been backcrossed to C57BL/6 for at least 10 generations.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms assigned by genotype

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.

Akap6tm1Jsco/Akap6tm1Jsco

        involves: 129 * Black Swiss
  • lethality-postnatal
  • postnatal lethality (MGI Ref ID J:121227)
    • some postnatal lethality is observed; homozygous offspring are not present at expected Mendelian ratio (1:1:0.5 whereas expected ratio is 1:2:1)
  • growth/size phenotype
  • decreased body weight (MGI Ref ID J:121227)
    • mice show lower body weight compared to heterozygous and wild-type littermates from birth through adulthood (~15 weeks)
  • craniofacial phenotype
  • abnormal craniofacial morphology (MGI Ref ID J:121227)
    • some display craniofacial defects

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryWhen maintained as a live colony, heterozygotes may be bred. Homozygotes have reduced viability.

Please note: Estimated available for sale dates are provided to keep customers better informed on strains under development. Please note that our Colony Managers routinely monitor the target date and edit it based on breeding performance and other factors. The length of time it takes to make a new strain available for sale depends on genotype, age, number of animals sent by the Donating Investigator, breeding performance, additional strain development (backcrossing, making homozygous), and anticipated demand for the strain/interest registered.

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.
