| description | When used in bone marrow transplant into Ldlrtm1Her homozygous mice, Abca1tm1Jdm Abcg1tm1Dgen homozygous cells accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. (J:130777) Phenotypic Similarity to Human Syndrome: Atherosclerosis, Susceptibility to J:29950, J:225091 in mice fed a high-cholesterol diet. |
| molecularNote | Insertion of a neomycin resistance cassette into exon 4. The authors predict that the targeted allele would encode a truncated non-functional protein that will not bind LDL, and that lacks a membrane spanning segment. Immunoblot analysis of liver membranes detected a truncated protein in homozygous mutant animals. |
