The Protein Kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) or
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha-subunit kinase 3 (Eif2ak3)
plays a significant role in the unfolded protein response55 (link),56 (link). PERK is required for proper development and maturation of
mammary epithelial cells. Deletion of PERK in mammary glands inhibits key
lipogenic enzymes involved in lipid production and storage (Fatty acid synthase,
ATP citrate lyase and stearyl-CoA desaturase-1) decreasing the lipid content in
milk45 (link). To generate
mice which produce milk deficient in fatty acids, PERKloxP mice with
loxP sites which flank exons 3–557 (link) were mated with Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-Cre
transgenic mice46 (link). MMTV-cre
transgenic mouse lines express Cre recombinase predominantly in secretory cell
types in the mammary epithelium46 (link). Female mice homozygous for PERKloxP and
MMTV-cre produce mammary glands in which the milk is deficient in fatty
acids45 (link). Here, only
male mice were used in our studies to avoid variations between groups. The
PERKloxP and MMTV-cre mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory
(Eif2ak3tm1.2Drc stock number 023066); and Tg(MMTV-cre)4Mam -
stock number 003553), respectively.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
