Strain developmentDeveloped by Drs. Takayoshi Bando and Atsushi Miyajima at the University of Tokyo in 2001. The TT2 ES cells originated from an F1 embryo between C57BL/6 and CBA mice were used. The targeting construct contains relpaced exons with the beta-galactosidase and the neomycin resistance genes by homologous reconbination. The NLRR4 deficient mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6JJcl.
Strain descriptionB6.Cg-B430119L13Rik<tm>. NLRR4 is a member of the neuronal leucine-rich repeat protein family. NLRR proteins are type I transmembrane proteins with leucine-rich repeats and a fibronectine type III repeat, and expressed in neuronal tissues. NLRR4 deficient mice have a severe damage to their long-term memory in hippocampus-dependent tasks, while their hippocampal long-term potentiation was intact. NLRR4 plays a role in hippocamus-dependent long-lasting memory.
Colony maintenanceBackcross to C57BL/6 (Heterozygote x C57BL/6J)Homozygous deficient mice are viable and fertile.
