Primary Identifier | MGI:3057161 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(ABCG5/ABCG8)14-2Hobb |
Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6J x SJL)F2 | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The transgene contains a 90kb of sequence including the entire coding regions of the human ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes, approximately 30Kb of sequence flanking the 3' end of ABCG5, 6Kb of sequence flanking the 3' end of ABCG8 and sequence encoding exons 6 to 13 of a putative gene called CGI-60. Estimated transgene copy number is ~14 for this line. Northern blot analysis revealed the human transgene is expressed in the liver and small intestine. RT-PCR showed trace levels of transgene transcript in ovary tissue. |
