B6.YBR-Ces1c^b Ces1e^h/CvJ

Stock number: 001601
Product name: B6 Eg⁰/Eg⁰

Description

These congenic mice carry the carboxylesterase 1C allele (Ces1c^b) and the carboxylesterase 1E deficient allele (Ces1e^h) from the YBR inbred strain on a C57BL/6J genetic background.

Detailed description

TThe carboxylesterase 1E (egasyn) gene affects the processing of beta-glucuronidase, which is segregated to lysosomes. In carboxylesterase 1E-positive mice lysosomal beta-glucuronidase from liver has a mean pI of 5.9 with a minor proportion at pI 5.4, whereas in these carboxylesterase 1E-negative mice the proportion of the two lysosomal forms is reversed.

Development

Ces1c^b and Ces1e^h (formerly called Eg⁰) were backcrossed from YBR onto C57BL/6 until N15 then sibling mated. (Swank et al., 1986.)
