| Strain description |
Knockout mice of cathepsin K, a type of lysosomal protease. Guide RNAs were set at two locations in the coding region of the Ctsk gene, and the first half of the coding sequence was deleted by genome editing. This strain is expected to be used as a model for pulmonary fibrosis and osteosclerotic diseases. |
