Description
- Ces1 is highly expressed in the liver, macrophages, and small intestine, where it plays key roles in detoxifying ester-containing drugs and xenobiotics, as well as in hydrolyzing cholesteryl esters and triglycerides to regulate lipid and glucose homeostasis.
- Gene editing strategy: The mouse Ces1a, Ces1b, Ces1c, Ces1d, Ces1e, Ces1f, Ces1g, and Ces1h genes were knock out in B-Ces1 cluster mice.
- mRNA Expression Analysis: Mouse Ces1 mRNA was exclusively detectable in C57BL/6JNifdc, but not detectable in B-Ces1 cluster KO mice.
- Application: This product is used for studying prodrug activation, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and macrophage lipid metabolism.
Targeting Strategy
Gene targeting strategy for B-Ces1 cluster mice. The mouse Ces1a, Ces1b, Ces1c, Ces1d, Ces1e, Ces1f, Ces1g, and Ces1h genes were knock out in B-Ces1 cluster mice.
mRNA expression analysis
Strain specific analysis of Ces1 mRNA expression in wild-type C57BL/6JNifdc and B-Ces1 cluster KO mice by RT-PCR. Liver and lung RNA were isolated from wild-type C57BL/6JNifdc (+/+) and homozygous B-Ces1 cluster KO mice (-/-), then cDNA libraries were synthesized by reverse transcription, followed by PCR with mouse Ces1 primers. Mouse Ces1 mRNA was exclusively detectable in C57BL/6JNifdc, but not detectable in B-Ces1 cluster KO mice.
