Model organisms have been used in the study of KPTN function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Kptntm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[10][11] 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.[12][13][14]
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[8][15] Twenty two tests were carried out on mutant mice and six significant abnormalities were observed.[8] Homozygous mutant mice had hyperalbuminemia, decreased mature B cell numbers and increased susceptibility to bacterial infection. Female mice also had increased body weight, body fat and impaired glucose tolerance.[8]
