BRC No.RBRC00465
TypeTransgeneCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6.Cg-Tg(Ext2,LacZ)E22Tsh/ShsRbrc
Former Common nameTg-EXT2(E22), EXT2 transgenic mice (E22)
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell line
Background strainC57BL/6JJcl
Appearanceblack [a/a B/B C/C]
Strain developmentDeveloped by Drs. K. Morimoto and T. Shirasawa at Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology in 2001. The Ext2/lacZ plasmid was injected into the pronuclei of B6D2F1 fertilized eggs. The transgenic mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J.
Strain descriptionExt2, exostoses (multiple) 2 encodes an essential component of the glycosyltransferase complex that is required for the biosynthesis of heparan sulfate. This transgenic mice express exogenous Ext2 in developing chondrocytes. The expression of Ext2 is histologically monitored by lacZ expression. The biosynthesis of heparan sulfate and the formation of trabeculae of Tg mice are significantly increased at 8 weeks of age. This strain is useful for studies of biosynthesis of heparan sulfate in vivo.
Colony maintenanceBackcross to C57BL/6 (Hemizygote x C57BL/6J)
