| Research Abstract |
We attempted to establish the analysis system for the function of Ugcg(UDP-Glucose Ceramide Glucosyltransferase) gene on the basis of the quantitative difference, from complete deficiency to overexpression, in the expression of homologue gene introduced into Ugcg-deficient ES cell on both alleles. However, stably transfected clone was note obtained. We generated Ceramide Transfer Protein (Cert) conditional knockout mice deficient in exon5 by using the Cre-LoxP system. As Cert proved to be an essential gene for mouse development and embryonic survival, this mice is a new model useful for the study of the function of glycosylation-related genes involved in embryonic lethality.
