Generating Rab6 Conditional Knockout Mice
2021RAB6 GTPase is the most abundant Golgi-associated RAB protein and regulates several transport steps at the level of this organelle. Homozygous Rab6a knockout (k/o) is embryonic lethal in mouse. To study RAB6 function in cell lineages and tissues, we thus generated various conditional Rab6a knockout (k/o) mice using the Cre/lox system.

Annexins – insights from knockout mice
Biological Chemistry, 2016Abstract Annexins are a highly conserved protein family that bind to phospholipids in a calcium (Ca2+) – dependent manner. Studies with purified annexins, as well as overexpression and knockdown approaches identified multiple functions predominantly linked to their dynamic and reversible membrane binding behavior.

Rescue of Angiotensinogen-Knockout Mice
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1998Angiotensinogen, the precursor of angiotensins I and II, is a critical component of the renin-angiotensin system that plays an important role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte homeostasis. Genetically altered mice lacking angiotensinogen (Agt-KO) showed an expected phenotype, such as marked hypotension, but unexpected ones including abnormal

Knockout Mice in Xenobiotic Metabolism
Drug Metabolism Reviews, 2003Mice in which genes for drug metabolizing enzymes have been deleted or inactivated have great potential to further our understanding of the functions of these enzymes and their role in toxicology a...

Lessons from CRH knockout mice
Neuropeptides, 2002Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), the major regulator of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, has a wide spectrum of actions within the central nervous system and the periphery. The development and use of Crh knockout mice (Crh-/-) has been an important tool for addressing the physiologic and pathologic roles of CRH.

Generation of dynorphin knockout mice
Molecular Brain Research, 2001The opioid system has important roles in controlling pain, reward and addiction, and is implicated in numerous other processes within and outside the nervous system, such as mood states, immune responses, and prenatal developmental processes. The effects of the opioid system are mediated by at least three ligands, enkephalin, endorphin, and dynorphin ...

Estrogen Receptor-α Knockout Mice
2016Tissue specific knockout mice are valuable tools to study gene function in vivo. The method uses the Cre/loxP system in which loxP sites are cloned into the genome surrounding one or more exons of a gene and the targeted exon(s) are deleted when the Cre enzyme is expressed. Mouse lines that are prepared for the generation of knockout ERα mice have been

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2004
Here we investigated the biological functions of adiponectin, a fat-derived hormone, by disrupting the gene encodes it in mice. Adiponectin knockout mice (KO) exhibited severe diet-induced insulin resistance with reduced IRS-1-associated P13-kinase activity in muscle.

Generation of Conditional Knockout Mice
2014Conditional knockout mouse models are powerful tools to examine the biological and molecular function(s) of genes in specific tissues. The general procedure to generate such genetically engineered mouse models consists of three main steps. The first step is to find the appropriate genomic clone of the gene of interest and to design the cloning and ...
