Generic protein structure example

Leucine rich repeat containing 16A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRRC16A gene.[1] The gene is also known as LRRC16, CARMIL, CARMIL1 or CARMIL1a.[1]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of LRRC16A function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Lrrc16atm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[6][7] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[8][9][10]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[4][11] Twenty two tests were carried out on mutant mice but no significant abnormalities were observed.[4]
