| Provider affiliation | Mak Lab, Campbell Family Breast Cancer reseach Institute |
| Genetic information | Lipocalin 2, Targeted (knock-out), Insertion, Intragenic deletion |
| Phenotypic information | Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as innate immunity and cancer development. Binds iron through association with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. |
| Breeding history | Pure C57BL/6, backcrossed 10 times. |
