Species M. musculus
Strain 129S6-Ins2Akita/+ Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(Jak2)Bro/+ Tg(Nphs2-Cre)
Diabetes Type Type I
Complication All Complications
Development Status Evaluation: Phenotyping Ongoing
Diabetes Induction
Complication Induction
Phenotype Description This strain will be useful in studies to determine the role of sustained JAK2
overexpression in several kidney cell types on the progression of DN. Homozygous
JAK2 overexpression in the presence of exogenous AngII substantially enhanced
albuminuria, mesangial expansion and nephrosclerosis especially with type 1 DM.
