| Research Abstract |
We obtained 7 mutants for Snk, Slc39a6 and Dusp4 genes, which are induced by light and oscillated with a circadian rhythm, by RIKEN ENU-based gene-driven mutagenesis system. Snk and Slc39a6 mutant mice were normal with respect to the circadian rhythm by constant dark condition. Therefore, we could not indicate that these mutations are related to a circadian clock system. We however found that the Slc39a6 mutant male mice were infertile. It is a new finding that the Slc39a6 gene is related to the male sterility.
