LdlrKO (mut/mut)
NCBI Gene ID
Description
Ldlr KO rats were developed using targeted TALEN technology in the Sprague-Dawley strain. This model possesses a 2 bp deletion within Exon 1 of Ldlr on chromosome 8. This strain was maintained by mating homozygous males with homozygous females on a Sprague-Dawley genetic background.
