Homozygous mice are born but die shortly after birth, exhibiting multiple defects, including an open neural tube, skeletal abnormalities, shortened body axis, and a small vestigial tail. Analysis of early gene expression has shown that the loss of Nog expression in the floorplate, notochord, and roofplate results in a progressive failure of ventral development in the CNS and somites. Nog is also expressed in condensing cartilage in the limb and in the sclerotome of somites so its loss results in defects in cartilage patterning and skeletal morphogenesis. Heterozygous embryos show lacZ reporter expression in pattern consistent with the endogenous gene.
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance, herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase and lacZ genes was used to disrupt most of the Nog coding region and some 3' flanking sequence. The targeted allele consists of an in frame lacZ fusion to noggin's first 10 amino acids. The construct was electroporated into 129S1/Sv-derived CJ7 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6J blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were backcrossed to 129/Sv mice.

Strain of Origin | 129S1/Sv-Oca2+ Tyr+ Kitl+ |
Chromosome | 11 |
Molecular Note | Gene targeting generated a null allele by fusing the first 10 amino acids of coding sequence in-frame to the lacZ gene. The remainder of the coding sequence and some of the 3' flanking sequence of the gene were deleted. Ectopic expression of the resulting transcript was noted. |
Mutations Made By | Andrew McMahon, University of Southern California |
The strain originated on and is currently on a 129/Sv background. Homozygotes are not viable. The investigator maintains the strain by breeding heterozygotes or heterozygous males with 129/SvJ females.
When using the Noggin KO mouse strain in a publication, please cite the originating article(s) and include JAX stock #003383 in your Materials and Methods section.

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. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
