Pten knockout rats: HsdSage:SD-Ptenem1Sage GEM rats

select features

Cryopreserved

Typically heterozygous rats are cryo-recovered in 10-12 weeks to an age of 7 weeks old. Subsequently homozygous rats to an age of 7 weeks old can be produced within 20-22 weeks.

This model was created in collaboration with Autism Speaks and is currently undergoing phenotypic characterization by Dr. Richard Paylor at Baylor College of Medicine
Mutations in Pten have been associated with autism
Background Strain: Sprague-Dawley

Availability: Cryopreserved as a mix of Heterozygous & WT embryos

This model contains a monoallelic deletion of the phosphatase and tensin homolog gene (Pten). Pten mutations have been linked with autism, making this model useful for the study of autism spectrum disorders.
