B6;129-Kcnq2tm1.1Avtz/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251043

Common Name: Kcnq2fl
Kcnq2fl mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exons 2-5 of the epilepsy-associated Kcnq2 (potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily Q, member 2) gene and may be useful in generating conditional mutations to study the regulation of neuronal excitability.
