1 When indicated as verified ("YES"), then please note that information presented is to the best of our knowledge correct and up-to-date at the time of verification at the MMRRC Distribution Center; however, this information is subject to change due to breeding, maintenance, and other actions on the mouse strain at the MMRRC Distribution Center; direct any questions on this table to the MMRRC Distribution Center for this mouse stain.

2 If verification has not been performed (as indicated by "NO"), investigators may request specific verification testing for a fee. Requests should be submitted directly to the MMRRC Distribution Center assigned to the management, archiving, and distribution of the strain. A full listing of available testing and analytical services is available at https://www.mmrrc.org/about/services.php.

3 This information may or may not apply to each individual engineered allele (e.g., Cre, FlpO) present in the strain.

4 Recovery refers to thawing, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and/or embryo culture leading to live offspring.

Kcnb1em3Kea
Name: potassium voltage gated channel, Shab-related subfamily, member 1; endonuclease-mediated mutation 3, Jennifer Kearney
Synonyms: Kcnb1R306C
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome:
Alteration at locus: CRISPR
Kcnb1
Name: potassium voltage gated channel, Shab-related subfamily, member 1
Synonyms: Kv2.1, Kcr1-1, Shab
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 2
NCBI: 16500
HGNC: HGNC:6231
Homologene: 37988
Genetic Alterations
CRISPR/Cas9 editing was used to introduce two single nucleotide changes, resulting in the R306C missense mutation and a silent change to disrupt the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM,-NGG).
ES Cell Line
Not applicable
Phenotype
Mutation in Kcnb1 does not affect channel expression; it affects voltage sensing. Heterozygous and homozygous R306C mice exhibited pronounced hyperactivity, altered susceptibility to flurothyl and kainic acid induced-seizures, and frequent, long runs of spike wave discharges on EEG.

This strain may be useful in applications related to the study of encephalopathies.
Strain GQC Summary
Gene Specific Genotyping:

To request gene-specific and other genotyping services for a strain, please contact the distribution MMRRC Center for more information.

Background Genetic Quality:

The MMRRC has developed a Genetic Quality Control pipeline using the MiniMUGA array to provide additional information to identify and validate genetic backgrounds of MMRRC strains. For more information on whether genetic background data is available, please contact MMRRC_GeneticQC@med.unc.edu. Note: that MiniMUGA genetic background data is not available on all strains, but can be ordered if desired.

Strain Development
CRISPR/Cas9 and homology directed repair with sgRNA and repair oligo NCBI Gene ID 16500, NM_008420.4 with variants c., predicting p.Arg306Cys (R306C) was performed followed by electroporation into C57BL/6J oocytes. Tail snip PCR was used to confirm genotype of mosaic founders. Mating of mosaic founders with C57BL/6J for germline transmission. Screening of N1 offspring to confirm presence of desired knock-in mutation, absence local rearrangements, and absence of mutations at predicted off-target sites with

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.

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.

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.
