These Scamp1 knock-out mice may be useful in studies relating to secretory vesicle exocytosis or regulation of endocytosis after formation of fusion pores.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Scamp1 | secretory carrier membrane protein 1 |
Mice homozygous for this targeted mutation are viable and fertile and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Homozygotes exhibit no changes in the overall architecture or the protein composition of the brain or alterations in peripheral organs. No protein product from the targeted gene is detected in hippocampal tissue or peritoneal mast cells. No changes in the structure or composition of the brain were detected. Capacitance recordings of mast cells indicate that GTP(gamma)S-triggered exocytosis in targeted mice occurs as readily as in wildtype mice. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of secretory vesicle exocytosis.
A targeting vector containing a neomycin resistance gene was used to replace exons 3 and 4 encoding residues 46-114 of the gene. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived SM1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Chimeric animals were crossed with C57BL/6. The strain has been minimally backcrossed to C57BL/6 by the donating laboratory.

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.
