BRC No.RBRC01130
TypeTargeted MutationCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6.129P2-Ugt8a<tm1Pop>/Rbrc
Former Common nameCeramide galactosyltransferase (CGT)-deficient mice
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineBK4 [129P2/OlaHsd]
Background strain
Appearanceblack [a/a B/B C/C]
Strain developmentDeveloped by Dr. Brain Popko, University of North Carolina in 1996.
Strain descriptionCGT-deficient mice fail to make galactolipid galactocerebroside and its sulfated derivative that are normal myelin constitutents. Mutant mice exhibit tremors, ataxia, progressive hindlib paralysis and vaculoe formation in ventral spinal cord due to abnormal myelin sheath.B6.129P2-Ugt8a<tm1Pop>. Ceramide galactosyltransferase, CGT is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of galactocerebroside, GalC. Homozygous mutant mice for CGT gene show tremor, ataxia progressive hind limb paralysis and extensiv vacuolation of the ventral spinal cord.
