ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 1
Chromosome
17
Affected Gene Symbol
Abcg1
Genetic alteration of gene:
Three loxP sites and one neomycin resistance gene were placed around exon 3, the exon that is
deleted in general Abcg1-/- mice obtained from DeltaGen.4
The ABCG1 BAC construct was purchased
from CHORI. The Frt_LoxP (FL) cassette (146 bp) was inserted at position 41200 and the Lox_Neo_Lox
(LNL) cassette at position 41950. A 2 kb short arm downstream of the LNL cassette (ended at position
43950 before exon 4) was retrieved into a plasmid with the DTA cassette as the negative selection
marker. A NotI site was engineered in front of the 5 kb long arm for the linearization of the targeting
vector.
* Hemizygote as used here refers to males carring a mutation on the X chromosome or mice of either sex
carrying an inserted transgene with no homologous allele on the other chromosome.
Homozygous Matings Required?
