- Tool name: PI3K-C2b kinase-dead
- Research fields: Cancer
- Tool sub type: Mouse
- Model: Knock-In
- Genetic background: Knock-in mice in which the endogenous PIK3C2B/PI3K-C2beta PI3K gene is mutated so that it now encodes a PI3K-C2beta protein with the D1212A mutation in the ATP binding site, converting it to a kinase-dead PI3K-C2beta protein which is expressed at the same level as wild-type PI3K-C2beta. These mice have been backcrossed onto the B6 background.
- Phenotype: Homozygous mice are phenotypically normaland born at a normal Mendelian ratio, with no impact on organismal growth. Mice display enhanced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, as well as protection against high-fat-diet-induced liver steatosis. (see PMID 26655903 for details). Heterozygous mice are phenotypically normal.
