| Genetic information | A targeting vector containing loxP sites 5′ and 3′ of exon 2 was designed. A third loxP site and a selection cassette (a neomycin resistance gene for positive selection and the HSV thymidine kinase gene for negative selection) were inserted upstream of the floxed exon 2. The mutation was introduced into E14.1 embryonic stem cells by homologous recombination, and the neo/tk gene cassette was then deleted by transiently expressing the cre recombinase. See Catalanotti F, et al., A Mek1-Mek2 heterodimer determines the strength and duration of the Erk signal, Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2009, Mar;16(3):294-303. |
| Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Map2k1 (Mek1) (f/f) mice are phenotypically normal and fertile. When bred to mice expressing the cre recombinase under the control of a tissue-specific promoter, exon 2 of Mek1 is deleted, which leads to the complete loss of the MEK1 protein in the tissue of interest.Heterozygous:Mice are phenotypically normal and fertile. |
| Breeding history | Backcrossed to C57BL/6 background for more than 10 generations. |
