Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Pick1 | protein interacting with C kinase 1 |
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Homozygous males are not fertile, however. No gene product (protein) is detected by Western blot analysis of the brain isolated from homozygous animals. Mutant mice exhibit several deficits in synaptic plasticity in different brain regions. These mice may be useful in studies of the trafficking and localization of GluR2-containing receptors and calcium-permeable AMPA receptor plasticity (CARP).
LoxP sites flanking both exon3 and a neomycin cassette were introduced using (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1- Kitl+-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to CMV-cre transgenic mice to delete exon 3 and the neomycin cassette. The CMV-Cre transgene was bred out from the line. This strain was backcrossed to C57BL/6J for at least 11 generations by the donating laboratory.

Strain of Origin | (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl+ |
Chromosome | 15 |
General Note | Phenotypic Similarity to Human Syndrome: Globozoospermia in homozygous mice (J:149846) |
Molecular Note | Exon 3 was deleted via cre-mediated recombination, resulting in a frame-shift mutation. Western blot of mutant brains confirmed absence of protein. |

When maintained as a live colony, heterozygotes may be bred. Homozygous females are infertile.

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.
