Scavenger receptor class B type I knockout mice develop extensive diet-induced coronary artery atherosclerosis in an age-dependent manner. [PDF]
ObjectiveHomozygous knockout of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-B1) in mice with atherogenic mutations (such as knockout of the apolipoprotein E or low density lipoprotein receptor genes) results in spontaneous or diet-induced coronary heart ...

Inducible arginase 1 deficiency in mice leads to hyperargininemia and altered amino acid metabolism [PDF]
Arginase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from a loss of the liver arginase isoform, arginase 1 (ARG1), which is the final step in the urea cycle for detoxifying ammonia. ARG1 deficiency leads to hyperargininemia, characterized

Approaches for timeline reductions in pathogenesis studies using genetically modified mice
Although genetically modified mouse models have long been a powerful tool for microbiology research, the manipulation of the mouse genome is expensive, time consuming, and has historically remained the domain of dedicated animal facilities.

Functional deficits in PAK5, PAK6 and PAK5/PAK6 knockout mice. [PDF]
The p21-activated kinases are effector proteins for Rho-family GTPases. PAK4, PAK5, and PAK6 are the group II PAKs associated with neurite outgrowth, filopodia formation, and cell survival.

Targeted disruption of the mouse testis-enriched gene Znf230 does not affect spermatogenesis or fertility [PDF]
The mouse testis-enriched Znf230 gene, which encodes a type of RING finger protein, is present primarily in the nuclei of spermatogonia, the acrosome and the tail of spermatozoa.

Sleep in Kcna2 knockout mice [PDF]
Abstract Background Shaker codes for a Drosophila voltage-dependent potassium channel. Flies carrying Shaker null or hypomorphic mutations sleep 3–4 h/day instead of 8–14 h/day as their wild-type siblings do. Shaker-like channels are conserved across species but it is unknown whether they affect sleep

Cdk2 Knockout Mice Are Viable [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and their cyclin regulatory subunits control cell growth and division. Cdk2/cyclin E complexes are thought to be required because they phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein and drive cells through the G1/S transition into the S phase of the cell cycle.
