Animal Health Report
Strain description

The 14-3-3 proteins, a family of seven isomers, are involved in the intracellular signal transduction by regulating monoamine synthesis. In mammals, the 14-3-3 proteins exist at extremely high concentrations in brains and spinal cords, suggesting that the proteins might be involved in neurological diseases.

This strain of mice has a floxed exon in 14-3-3 epsilon gene. The 14-3-3 epsilon gene can be silenced (knocked out) by the mating with Cre mice. The strain can be used as a research tool for functional studies of 14-3-3 epsilon in the central nervous system.
