Generation and analysis of mice lacking the chemokine fractalkine.
Fractalkine (CX(3)CL1) is the first described chemokine that can exist either as a soluble protein or as a membrane-bound molecule. Both forms of fractalkine can mediate adhesion of cells expressing its receptor, CX(3)CR1. This activity, together with its expression on endothelial cells, suggests that fractalkine might mediate adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium during inflammation. Fract...
متن کاملGeneration and phenotypic analysis of protein S-deficient mice.
Protein S (PS) is an important natural anticoagulant with potentially multiple biologic functions. To investigate further the role of PS in vivo, we generated Pros(+/-) heterozygous mice. In the null (-) allele, the Pros exons 3 to 7 have been excised through conditional gene targeting. Pros(+/-) mice did not present any signs of spontaneous thrombosis and had reduced PS plasma levels and activ...
متن کاملGeneration and Standardized, Systemic Phenotypic Analysis of Pou3f3L423P Mutant Mice.
Increased levels of blood plasma urea were used as phenotypic parameter for establishing novel mouse models for kidney diseases on the genetic background of C3H inbred mice in the phenotype-driven Munich ENU mouse mutagenesis project. The phenotypically recessive mutant line HST011 was established and further analyzed. The causative mutation was detected in the POU domain, class 3 transcription...
متن کاملGeneration and phenotypic analysis of CHIF knockout mice.
Corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (CHIF) is a short epithelial-specific protein that is independently induced by aldosterone and a high-K(+) diet. It is a member of the FXYD family of single-span transmembrane proteins that include phospholemman, Mat-8, and the gamma-subunit of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. A number of studies have suggested that these proteins are involved in the regulation of ion tr...
متن کاملAmmonotelic teleosts and urea transporters.
UREA, A SMALL MOLECULE, IS an end product of nitrogen metabolism. In fish, it is mostly used as an osmolyte or excreted as a waste product of ammonia detoxification (22). Marine elasmobranch fish (dogfish, skate, and stingray) keep their plasma osmolality ( 1,050 mosmol/kgH2O) slightly above that of seawater by retaining high concentrations of urea, ranging from 300–600 mM (4). In contrast, tel...
