Detailed Description

Trpc5 (transient receptor potential cation channel, c5) encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that forms a receptor-activated cation channel. Homozygous knockout mice exhibit resistance to pilocarpine-induced seizures (in the late phase), minimal seizure-induced neuronal cell death in the hippocampus, and reduced long term potentiation. This strain may be useful for studying epileptogenesis and neuronal excitotoxicity.

Development

The targeting vector contains a loxP site inserted upstream of exon 5 and a loxP site inserted downstream of exon 5. In the protein this results in the loss of the transmembrane 5 pore and transmembrane 6 ion channel domain. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were interbred and offspring were crossed to B6.Cg-Tg(Sox2-cre)1Amc/J mice to remove exon 5. Offspring were interbred to generate a homozygous colony. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

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.
