Strain
B6.129P2-Acsl1tm1Rcol/J

Summary Data Summary
Official Name B6.129P2-Acsl1tm1Rcol/J
Common Name B6.129P2-Acsl1tm1Rcol
Description A targeting vector containing FRT site flanked MC1-Neo
selection cassette was utilized in the construction of this
mutant. This selection cassette was inserted upstream of
exon 2 of the targeted gene, and another loxP site was
inserted downstream of exon 2. This construct was
electroporated into 129P2/OlaHsd derived E14TG2a embryonic
stem (ES) cells which were transiently transfected with a
FLP1 (flpE) recombinase vector to remove the selection
cassette. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into
C57BL/6 blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were
crossed to C57BL/6 mice, and then backcrossed to C57BL/6 for
7 generations.
Development Status Phenotyping ongoing
Creation Method knockin
Breeding Type intercross
Phenotype Description The isozyme encoded by the acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain
family member 1 (Acsl1) gene catalyzes the synthesis of
acyl-CoA from fatty acids that are between 10 and 22 carbons
in size. These mice possess loxP sites on either side of
exon 2 of the targeted gene. Mice that are homozygous for
this allele are viable and fertile. When these mutant mice
are bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, resulting
offspring will have exon 2 deleted in the cre-expressing
tissues.

When bred to a strain with Cre recombinase expression in the
liver (see Stock No. 003574 for example), the resulting
mutant mouse strain exhibits a 50% decrease in total hepatic
acyl-CoA synthetase enzyme activity and may be useful in
studies of lipid metabolism and liver physiology.
