A viable mouse model of factor X deficiency provides evidence for maternal transfer of factor X. [PDF]
, 2008 BackgroundActivated factor X (FXa) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease that plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation by converting prothrombin to thrombin. There are no reports of humans with complete deficiency of FX, and knockout of murine F10 is

Role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase isoforms in murine skin inflammation induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate [PDF]
, 2011 p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase plays a pivotal role in skin inflammation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the various p38 isoforms. p38 beta/delta-knockout-C57BL/6 mice were generated, studied in a 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol

Knockout Corner: Knockout mice for monoamine oxidase A [PDF]
The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, 1999 A line of transgenic mice was isolated in which transgene integration had caused a deletion in the gene encoding monoamine oxidase A, an enzyme that degrades serotonin and norepinephrine. This has provided an animal model of MAOA deficiency in humans, a condition characterized by borderline mental retardation and impulsive aggression.

Vasculitis, Atherosclerosis, and Altered HDL Composition in Heme-Oxygenase-1-Knockout Mice
International Journal of Hypertension, 2012 To elucidate roles of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cardiovascular system, we have analyzed one-year-old HO-1-knockout mice. Homozygous HO-1-knockout mice had severe aortitis and coronary arteritis with mononuclear cellular infiltration and fatty streak ...

Rab11a is required for apical protein localisation in the intestine
Biology Open, 2014 The small GTPase Rab11 plays an important role in the recycling of proteins to the plasma membrane as well as in polarised transport in epithelial cells and neurons. We generated conditional knockout mice deficient in Rab11a.

Loss of Cx43 in Murine Sertoli Cells Leads to Altered Prepubertal Sertoli Cell Maturation and Impairment of the Mitosis-Meiosis Switch. [PDF]
, 2020 Male factor infertility is a problem in today's society but many underlying causes are still unknown. The generation of a conditional Sertoli cell (SC)-specific connexin 43 (Cx43) knockout mouse line (SCCx43KO) has provided a translational model ...
