| Genetic information | Single loxP site inserted upstream of Gpr37 exon 1 and floxed neomycin-resistance cassette inserted in intron 1 by homologous recombination in ES cells. In vitro expression of cre recombinase in a targeted E14.1 (129P2/OlaHsd) ES cell clone eliminated the floxed neo cassette and left exon 1 flanked by loxP sites. The ES cell clone was then used to produce the Gpr37-floxed mouse mutant strain. |
| Phenotypic information | No abnormal phenotype. GPR37 is a 7-transmembrane span protein, partly homologous to endothelin B receptors. It is highly expressed in several regions of human and rodent brain, including striatal dopaminergic neurons where it can be found associated to parkin. Mammalian GPR37 receptors interact with the prosaposin glycoprotein, as well as its derived, cytoprotective peptides and analogues. |
| Breeding history | Crossed 1-2 times to C57BL/6J |
