Strain
C57BL/6NTac

Summary Data Summary
Official Name C57BL/6NTac
Common Name C57BL/6NTac
Description C57BL/6 litters were received in 1991 at F151 from the NIH
Animal Genetic Resource. Cesarean derived in 1991 at
Taconic, a foundation colony is maintained in gnotobiotic
isolators. Origin is as follows: to NIH in 1951 from Jax at
F32; to Jax in 1948 from Hall.
Development Status Phenotyping complete
Phenotype Description C57BL/6NTac substrains carry the Crb1Rd8 mutation. Retinal
degeneration 8, is a mild form of retinal degeneration that
affects vision. This recessive mutation is a single base
pair mutation in the Crb1 gene, Crb1Rd8 (Mehalow et al.
2003) The onset of the phenotype appears to be between 2 and
6 weeks of age (Pritchett-Corning, 2012).

C57BL/6J mice present a deletion (~17 Kbp) in the
Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase (Nnt) gene. Nnt is
a transmembrane protein that catalyzes the inter conversion
of NADH and NADPH in the mitochondria. Studies suggest that
the presence of Nnt is essential for mitochondrial defense
against oxidative stress and for normal cellular metabolism
(Huang et al. 2006). Taconic’s C57BL mice, including
C57BL/6JBomTac, C57BL/6NTac and C57BL/10SgSnAiTac, or our
B6D2F1 and B6129F1, do not carry the Nnt mutation which is
present in C57BL/6J sub-strain.
