C57BL/6-Agpat5tm1Thor/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251127

Common Name: Agpat5flox
Exon 3 of the mouse Agpat5 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 5 (lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, epsilon) gene is flanked by lox2272/loxP sites in these Agpat5flox mice. Cre recombinase-mediated excision of the floxed region results in a knock-out allele and expression of a tdTomato reporter useful in studies of agouti-related peptide neurons and their roles in insulin-induced hypoglycemia sensing and glucagon secretion.
