BRC No.RBRC05261
TypeSpontaneous Mutation
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameDW/J-Tpst2<grt>/Hkv
Former Common nameDW-grt
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell line
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentDeveloped by Takeshi Yoshida, Mie University School of Medicine. Maintained by Takashi Agui, Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine, Hokkaido University.
Strain descriptionHypothyroid growth-retarded mouse derived from Snell’s dwarf mouse. Homozygous mutant mice show a delayed pubertal growth and hypothyroidism. Homozygous females are infertile and males show markedly-decreased fertility.
Colony maintenanceHeterozygote X Wild-type
References
Female infertility in grt mice is caused by thyroid hormone deficiency, not by insufficient TPST2 activity in the reproductive organs.
