Tool Details

  • Tool name: HBRN Mouse
  • Tool type: Experimental models
  • Tool sub-type: Mouse
  • Conditional: No
  • Genetic background and cross history: HBRN (Cytb5lox/lox::PORlox/lox CreALB) and wild-type (WT; PORlox/lox::Cyb5lox/lox) were generated by crossing HRN (PORlox/lox + CreALB ) and floxed cytochrome b5 mice (Cytb5lox/lox), and thereafter maintained by crossing of homozygous pairs within each line.
  • Zygosity: HBRN (Cytb5lox/lox::PORlox/lox ą CreALB)
  • Description: Improved model of abrogation of hepatic P450 function. The dual deletion of both Cyb5 and POR almost completely abrogates all hepatic cytochrome P450 activities; the new HBRN model thus provides a more authentic hepatic-P450 null phenotype
  • Research area: Cell signaling and signal transduction; Genetics; Metabolism
  • Production details: HBRN (Cytb5lox/lox::PORlox/lox Âą CreALB) and wild-type (WT; PORlox/lox::Cyb5lox/lox) were generated by crossing HRN (PORlox/lox + CreALB ) and floxed cytochrome b5 mice (Cytb5lox/lox), and thereafter maintained by crossing of homozygous pairs within each line.
