Abstract excerpt
Ggt1(dwg/dwg) mice are spontaneous mutant mice with a nucleotide deletion in the Ggt1 gene. They are characterized by dwarfism, cataract, and coat color abnormality. These abnormalities in the external appearance of Ggt1(dwg/dwg) mice closely resemble those of previously reported GGT1-deficient mice, Ggt1(tm1Zuk/tm1Zuk) (Ggt1(-/-)) and Ggt1(enu1/enu1), generated by gene targeting or ENU mutagenesis. However,...
