phenotypes
All alleles(3) : Targeted, other(1) Spontaneous(2)
Homozygotes are obese, hyperphagic, have low activity, high metabolic efficiency, impaired thermogenesis, infertility and short lifespan. Strain background greatly affects severity and course of diabetes. Heterozygotes survive fasting longer than control mice.
