Tg(Myh7-Pln)2Egk
Name: transgene insertion 2, Evangelia G Kranias
Synonyms: Tg(Myh6-Pln)2Egk, Tg(Pln)2Egk, PlnOE
Type: Transgene
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: unknown
Alteration at locus: Transgenic
Genetic Alterations
This transgene contains the promoter of the mouse beta myosin heavy chain (myosin, heavy polypeptide 7, cardiac muscle, beta) gene, in a ~5.6 kb genomic DNA fragment encompassing upstream sequence and the entire 5-untranslated region (5-UTR) to the translation initiation site in exon 4, driving expression of a 603-bp mouse phospholamban cDNA fragment including 13 bp of the 5-UTR, the full-length protein-coding sequence, and 434 bp of the 3-UTR, which is followed by the human growth hormone polyadenylation signal.
Genotype Determination
Phenotype
Overexpression of phospholamban was expressed in mouse slow-twitch skeletal muscle which resulted in muscle atrophy and slow rates of contraction and relaxation of the soleus muscle.
Suggested Control Mice
  • Wild-type littermates
  • FVB/N
MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact mmrrc@missouri.edu. Older strains may not have this information.
  • Skeletal muscle contraction
  • Calcium cycling
Donor
Evangelia Kranias, Ph.D., University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine.

Order Request Information

Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to mmrrc@missouri.edu for more information.

Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

*Shipping & Handling not included*
Units Notes
000067-MU-EMBRYO Cryo-preserved embryos $1,038.00 / Non-Profit Aliquot Approximate quantity2 : 20-40 embryos / aliquot
000067-MU-SPERM Cryo-preserved spermatozoa $437.00 / Non-Profit Aliquot Approximate quantity3
000067-MU-RESUS Litter recovered from cryo-archive $2,028.00 / Non-Profit Litter Recovered litter4; additional fees for any special requests.

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
