Alliance:	Tg(Fabp4-Dgat1)2Far page

Strain of Origin:

C57BL/6J

Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence) Mutation:    Insertion   Tg(Fabp4-Dgat1)2Far expresses 1 gene Transgene expresses: Organism Expressed Gene Note mouse Dgat1 (MGI:1333825)   Mutation details: A 5.4 kb promoter for Fabp4 was used to drive expression of a 1.6 kb murine Dgat1 cDNA which expresses an amino-terminal FLAG epitope. The transgene is expressed only in white adepose tissue. A high expressing line (line 2) and a low expressing line (line 3) were established. (J:107180)
