NPR2 (natriuretic peptide receptor 2) is the primary receptor for C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), which, when bound to ligand increases guanylyl cyclase activity. NPR2 is involved in the regulation of bone growth and meiosis in oocytes; it is expressed in ovarian follicles, chondrocytes, adrenal, kidneys, lungs, hearts, testis, and epididymis tissues.
HA-LHR knock-in mice carry a hemagglutinin (HA) tag inserted into the N-terminal of the Npr2 gene. Mice homozygous for the mutation are viable and fertile with no obvious phenotype. In studies of ovary and bone growth plate, both of which depend on NPR2 for their function, HA-NPR2 mice show no phenotypic differences from wildtype. Immunofluorescence and immunogold labelling in the ovaries of HA-LHR mice can be used to localize the LHR protein. The donating investigator used Western blotting to characterize chondrocytes, adrenals, kidney, lung, heart, testis, and epididymis tissues.

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.
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 csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.
A Commercial License Agreement from the Donor is required for for-profit entities to use this strain. For more information, please contact Technology Transfer Office.
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.
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.
