Primary Identifier | MGI:3619921 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Dominant negative, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Myh6-Pik3ca)1Siz |
Strain of Origin | FVB/N | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | This transgene consists of the mouse alpha myosin heavy chain (Myh6) promoter and a truncated Pik3ca (p110) mutant that has Pik3rl (p85) binding domains but lacks the kinase domain. Myh6 drives the expression of the dominant-negative Pik3ca in cardiac myocytes. Immunoprecipitation and western blotting confirmed transgene expression exclusively in the heart and a lipid kinase indicated that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity was decreased by 77%. |
