Tool Details
- Tool name: GSTP1GSTP2 KO Mouse
- Tool type: Experimental models
- Tool sub-type: Mouse
- Cancer type: Lung cancer
- Disease: Cancer; Drug metabolism & toxicity
- Model: Knock-Out
- Conditional: No
- Application: Lung and skin tumourigenesis modeling; drug metabolism; drug toxicity studies
- Genetic background and cross history: A Gstp1/2 targeting vector, replacing all of the Gstp1 gene and exons 6 and 7 of the Gstp2 gene with a resistance cassette, was transfected into E14Tg2a.IV ES cells. Properly targeted ES cells containing a homologous recombination event were selected, cloned, and injected into blastocysts. Chimeric mice were mated with MF1 mice to generate mice heterozygous for GSTP1/2 knockout. Heterozygous mice were interbred to generate mice homozygous for GSTP1/2 knockout.
- Zygosity: Homozygous
- Description: In vivo study of GSTP1/2 (regulator of protein synthesis/degradation) knockout in tumourigenesis, drug metabolism and toxicity; disease model for drug metabolism and toxicity; tumourigenesis model (skin, lung) (chemically induced)
- Research area: Cancer; Genetics
- For Research Use Only

Application Details
- Application: Lung and skin tumourigenesis modeling; drug metabolism; drug toxicity studies
