OGTF floxed mice possess loxP sites flanking the exon encoding amino acids 206-232 of the X-linked Ogt gene. These mice may be useful in studying intracellular glycosylation, lipid use by tumors, hyperpagia/obesity, metabolism, immune cells and anti-inflammatory function.

Targeted (Conditional ready (e.g. floxed), No functional change) | Ogt | O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) transferase (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:polypeptide-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase) |
These mice possess loxP restriction sites on either side of the exon encoding amino acids 206-232 of the X-linked Ogt gene. Female mice bearing two copies of the floxed allele, and males carrying one, are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. At least one intact, functional Ogt allele is required for embryonic stem cell viability and subsequent ontogenic events, as well as the viability and function of germ cells, neurons, thymoyctes, fibroblasts. When used in conjunction with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this mutant is useful in generating tissue-specific mutants of the floxed gene.
For example, when crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in thymocytes (see Stock No. 003802), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of intracellular glycosylation and T cell apoptosis.
When crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in embryonic neuronal cells (see Stock No. 003966), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of intracellular glycosylation and tau hyperphosphorylation.
When crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in the male germ line (see Stock No. 003328), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of paternal X inactivation.
When crossed to a strain expressing Cre recombinase in oocytes (see Stock No. 006888), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of intracellular glycosylation and embryogenesis.
A targeting vector was designed to have a loxP site upstream of the Ogt exon encoding amino acids 206-232 and a loxP-flanked neo cassette just downstream of that exon. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were transiently transfected with a cre expression plasmid for the purpose of removing the selectable marker cassette. ES cells that had successfully undergone Cre-mediated recombination and no longer retained the cassette but did retain the loxP-flanked exon (also described as the OGTF allele) were injected in C57BL/6 blastocysts and chimeric mice obtained. This strain originated on a B6;129 background and has been backcrossed to C57BL/6 for at least ten generations [March 2003].

When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice (Stock No. 000664). Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
When using the OGTF mouse strain in a publication, please cite the originating article(s) and include JAX stock #004860 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.
