Full Name: Birt-Hogg-Dube rat
RGD ID: 4139889
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_4139889
Ontology ID: RS:0002440
Alleles: Flcn
Also Known As: NBRP Rat No: 0577; Nihon rat
Type: inbred
Available Source: National BioResource Project for the Rat in Japan

Description: A rat showing hereditary renal cell carcinoma was found in a Jcl:SD rat colony and named Nihon rat. In this rat strain mutation was identified as an insertion of a cytosine (C) in a C tract within exon 3 of Flcn . This germline mutation results in a frameshift and produces a stop codon 26 amino-acids downstream. Thereafter they have been maintained at Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd.
Coat Color: Albino
Inbred Generations: F28
Last Known Status: Cryopreserved Embryo (as of 2018-06-06)
