View other collections this resource is shared to.

These mice, which contain an inactivating, K414E mutation within the Gck gene, provide a model for Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, or MODY-GK.

During the generation of this line, male chimeric mice derived by injecting correctly targeted TL1 mESCs into blastocysts from C57Bl/6 animals were mated directly with 129S6 female mice, thereby maintaining the mutation in an inbred state. 

Cryostocks of both 8-cell embryos and sperm from this line exist only at the VCMR.

Genetic Alteration

Mutation #1: Targeted Mutagenesis
Type of AlleleGlobal Mutation
Targeted GeneName: Glucokinase
Symbol: Gck
NCBI: 103988
Allele Name: targeted mutation 2
Symbol: Gcktm2Mgn
MGI: MGI:3701697
Description of Targeting Vector

A single base pair mutation was introduced into exon 9 via site specific mutagenesis to change amino acid 414 from lysine to glutamic acid. Genotype by DNA PCR using primers 5'-TGT CTC AAT TTG CTG TGT CCT CCA-3' and 5'-ATG TGT GAG TGT GCC AAT ATG AGT-3'. These primers will amplify a 636 bp fragment from the wild type allele and a 741 bp fragment from the targeted (mutant) allele. These animals are homozygous lethal. Heterozygous mice are viable. They are hyperglycemic and hypoinsulinemic when compared to wild type.
