Exencephaly and hydrocephaly in mice with targeted modification of the apolipoprotein B (Apob) gene.

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a key structural component of several lipoproteins. These lipoproteins transport cholesterol, lipids, and vitamin E in the circulation. Humans that produce truncated forms of apoB have low plasma concentrations of apoB, beta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, and often vitamin E. This condition has been modeled in mice by targeted modification of the apoB gene. Homozygous transgenic mice...
