Chchd2 Conditional Knockout mouse models
Encoding a twin CX9C intermembrane space protein imported through the MIA40 relay, Chchd2 is the mouse ortholog of human CHCHD2 (PARK22), where it associates with cytochrome c oxidase subunits, contributes to cristae organization together with CHCHD10, and under hypoxia relocates to the nucleus to act on oxygen-responsive promoter elements, giving it both a bioenergetic and a transcriptional identity. Dominant T61I and R145Q substitutions cause autosomal dominant Parkinson disease with α-synuclein pathology, and the mutant protein aggregates and destabilizes the CHCHD2 and CHCHD10 heterodimer rather than simply losing activity. As with its paralog, constitutive nulls display mild or age-delayed phenotypes, so a T61I knockin is the design matched to dopaminergic degeneration endpoints, while a conditional null crossed to Dat-Cre tests whether reduced dosage alone compromises nigral neurons. Because Chchd10 compensates directly through heterodimer formation, plan compound conditional genetics early and quantify mitochondrial integrated stress response markers with nigral cell counts.
Chchd2 conditional knockout mice carry a floxed allele so you delete function only where Cre is active. The germline allele stays intact until you cross to a tissue specific Cre. Labs reach for this design when a global knockout is lethal, when they need adult onset loss, or when regional redundancy hides a whole body phenotype.

| These mice carry loxP sites flanking exon2 of Chchd2 gene. When crossed with a Cre recombinase-expressing strain, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific conditional expression of Chchd2 gene. | |||||
Why this approach
Conditional knockout focuses the experiment on your target tissue while the rest of the animal keeps a wild type allele. That pattern mirrors somatic mutation in patients and avoids systemic compensation that can erase subtle phenotypes. It is often preferred when a germline null is lethal, weak, or confounded by developmental rescue.

FAQ
What Chchd2 Conditional Knockout mouse models are available?
When Chchd2 Conditional Knockout lines are in catalog, we ship from inventory. If your configuration is not listed, we design the allele to order. Common paths include conditional knockout, constitutive knockout, humanized, knockin, and transgenic options, with documented germline transmission and United States QC.
Is Chchd2 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some Chchd2 germline knockouts are viable. Others need conditional alleles or mixed backgrounds. We review publications and our own experience, then recommend floxed versus null before you commit.
Which Cre driver is best for experiments?
Driver choice depends on onset timing, recombination efficiency, and known leak. We map your organ and cell type to a short list of proven Cre lines, then talk through reporter crosses and controls. We favor drivers with strong community validation for your tissue.
Do you ship live Chchd2 animals?
When catalog lines are live, we ship with health certificates and QC documentation. If your exact combo is not listed, we quote a generation project with cryo or live dispatch depending on cohort timing and geography.
How do I request a quote for Chchd2?
Use the catalog inquire buttons or the request quote form. Include your allele goal, Cre plan if any, strain background, and cohort size. A PhD led team responds with pricing, milestones, and the fastest path to experimental animals.
