Abstract excerpt
Two null mouse models have previously been created to study the role of the prohormone convertase (PC2) and its helper protein 7B2; unexpectedly, the phenotypes of these two nulls differ profoundly, with the 7B2 but not the PC2 null dying at 5 wk. The genetic backgrounds of these two models differ, with the 7B2 null in a 129/SvEv (129) background and the PC2 null in a mixed C57BL/N6:129/SvEv (B6:129) background....
