These cell lines are useful for studying the regulation of tissue-specific gene expression, and may also be used to identify epididymal-specific transcription factors involved in expression of specific proteins in the epididymis.
This is a unique genetically modified strain ofmice that models Dravet syndrome, a severe infant-onset epileptic encephalopathy. They are maintained on apure 129S6/SvEvTac genetic background to facilitate genetic studies.
A Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) containing the mouseSlc5a7 gene was used to make transgenic mice. Mice show elevated choline transporter and acetylcholine levels and increased treadmill endurance.
