ES Cell lineE14.1 [129P2/OlaHsd]
Background strainC57BL/6NJcl
Appearanceblack [a/a B/B C/C]
Strain developmentDeveloped by Dr. Koichi Honke, Osaka University Medical School in 1999. A targeting vector including pgk-neo was transfected into E14.1 ES cells to disrupt exons 2 and 3 of Cst gene. The Cst knockout mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6N for 6 times. Generation: N5+N1F3
Strain descriptionB6;129P2-Gal3st1<tm1Kho>. Cerebroside sulfotransferase (Cst) gene is located in the Golgi membrane that is responsible for the biosynthesis of two sulfated glycolipids (GalCer and GalEAG) in the mammals. Cst null mice lack sulfatide in myelin and sulfated seminolipid in sperm. Homozygous mutant males are sterile. This strain is useful for elucidation of the role of sulfoglycolipids in myelin function and spermatogenesis.
