BRC No.RBRC04715
TypeTargeted MutationCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6;129-Spaca1<tm1.1Osb>/Osb
Former Common nameSpaca1 KO, B6;B6129-Spaca1<tm1.1Osb>
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineEGR-G01 [129S2 x C57BL/6NCr-Tg(CAG/Acr-EGFP)]
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Yoshitaka Fujihara and Masaru Okabe, Research Institute for Microbial Diseases, Osaka University in 2008.
Strain descriptionSpaca1 knockout mice. Spaca1 is a gene especially expressing in testis. Homozygous mutant males are infertile.
Colony maintenanceHeterozygote X Wild-type [C57BL/6NJcl]
References
SPACA1-deficient male mice are infertile with abnormally shaped sperm heads reminiscent of globozoospermia.
