Targeted deletion of fatty acid transport protein-4 results in early embryonic lethality.
Fatty acid transport protein-4 (FATP4) is the major FATP in the small intestine. We previously demonstrated, using in vitro antisense experiments, that FATP4 is required for fatty acid uptake into intestinal epithelial cells. To further examine the physiological role of FATP4, mice carrying a targeted deletion of FATP4 were generated. Deletion of one allele of FATP4 resulted in 48% reduction of...
متن کاملDeletion of the mouse P450c17 gene causes early embryonic lethality.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a 19-carbon precursor of sex steroids, is abundantly produced in the human but not the mouse adrenal. However, mice produce DHEA and DHEA-sulfate (DHEAS) in the fetal brain. DHEA stimulates axonal growth from specific populations of mouse neocortical neurons in vitro, while DHEAS stimulates dendritic growth from those cells. The synthesis of DHEA and sex steroids,...
متن کاملTargeted deletion of the murine apobec-1 complementation factor (acf) gene results in embryonic lethality.
apobec-1 complementation factor (ACF) is an hnRNP family member which functions as the obligate RNA binding subunit of the core enzyme mediating C-to-U editing of the nuclear apolipoprotein B (apoB) transcript. ACF binds to both apoB RNA and apobec-1, the catalytic cytidine deaminase, which then results in site-specific posttranscriptional editing of apoB mRNA. Targeted deletion of apobec1 elim...
متن کاملDeletion of the gene encoding proprotein convertase 5/6 causes early embryonic lethality in the mouse.
PC5 belongs to the proprotein convertase family and activates precursor proteins by cleavage at basic sites during their transit through the secretory pathway and/or at the cell surface. These precursors include prohormones, proreceptors, growth factors, adhesion molecules, and viral glycoproteins. The Pcsk5 gene encodes two alternatively spliced isoforms, the soluble PC5A and transmembrane PC5...
متن کاملTargeted Inactivation of p12Cdk2ap1, CDK2 Associating Protein 1, Leads to Early Embryonic Lethality
Targeted disruption of murine Cdk2ap1, an inhibitor of CDK2 function and hence G1/S transition, results in the embryonic lethality with a high penetration rate. Detailed timed pregnancy analysis of embryos showed that the lethality occurred between embryonic day 3.5 pc and 5.5 pc, a period of implantation and early development of implanted embryos. Two homozygous knockout mice that survived to ...
