- Description: This is a fibroblast specific, Tamoxifen inducible knockout mouse model for the deletion of the Spag17 gene. Reserachers identified the Spag17 gene as one differentially regulated in fibrotic diseases and created a mouse model was created with inducible fibroblast specific Spag17 knockout. Knockout Spag17 mice show significant fibrosis in skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, and skeletal muscle between 4-6 months of age. These mice have greater collagen deposition, enhanced fibroblast to myofibro...
- Phenotype: Multi-organ fibrosis
