The spontaneous mutation Atp2b2dfw-3J (or dfw3J) contains a 4-nucleotide deletion in the third coding exon of the Atp2b2 gene. Atp2b2 transcript is undetectable by Western blot analysis of total brain protein. Homozygotes are deaf and ataxic. On the common CBA/CaJ background, another dfw null allele (Atp2b2dfw-2J, Stock No. 002894) and the dfw3J allele are indistinguishable in brain Atp2b2 mRNA and PMCA2 protein expression and in behavioral phenotype.
The Atp2b2dfw-3J mutation arose spontaneously in a C57BLKS/J-m+/+Leprdb colony. Selection of non-obese mice as breeders eliminated Leprdb from the colony. A single outcross to C57BL/6J was followed by test-crossing of F2 progeny to misty (m/m) mice to identify animals wild type at both Lepr and m from which to propagate Atp2b2dfw-3J. Loss of Leprdb was confirmed by the presence of only C57BL/6 microsatellite alleles in that region of Chr 4, which in C57BLKS is derived from DBA/2J.
Since the outcross to C57BL/6J, the strain has been inbred by crossing hosts of ovarian transplants from homozygous (Atp2b2dfw-3J/Atp2b2dfw-3J) females with +/? male siblings of the ovary donors, then mating the non-dwarf, obligate heterozygote (Atp2b2dfw-3J/+) offspring among themselves.

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.
