*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)

  • Tool name: SDHB Floxed Mouse
  • Alternate name: Succinate dehydrogenase, SDH, Succinate-coenzyme Q reductase, SQR
  • Research fields: Cancer;Drug development;Genetics;Metabolism
  • Tool sub type: Mouse
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Model: Transgenic
  • Conditional description: Exon 3 of the succinate dehydrogenase can be deleted upon Cre recombinase expression as this exon is flanked with lox P sequences
  • Description: Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is an enzyme complex found in the inner mitochondrial membrane of mammalian mitochondria and many bacterial cells. SDH is the only enzyme that participates in both the electron transport chain and citric acid cycle. The enzymatic function of SDH oxidises succinate to fumarate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and loosing this function is associated with cancer formation.
  • Genetic background: Backcrossed 10 times into C57/BL6
  • Zygosity: Homozygous
  • Strain: C57BL/6

Handling

  • Shipping conditions: Embryo/Spermatoza- Dry Ice
