Tyk2 Knockout mouse models
Tyk2, the mouse ortholog of human TYK2, encodes a JAK-family kinase whose FERM and SH2-like modules dock receptor boxes, whose JH2 pseudokinase domain autoinhibits catalysis, and whose kinase domain phosphorylates STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, and STAT4 downstream of IFNAR1, IL12RB1, and IL10RA, placing it at the center of type I interferon, IL-12, IL-23, and IL-10 responses. Human genetics frames the design: complete deficiency causes mycobacterial and viral susceptibility, while the common P1104A hypomorph is protective against psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease, so a knockin of that exact substitution models allosteric partial inhibition far better than a null does. Kinase-dead alleles further separate catalytic output from scaffolding, and humanized JH2 or full-locus replacement is effectively required for deucravacitinib-class pseudokinase binders that do not engage the mouse domain. JAK1 is an obligate heterodimeric partner, not a redundant substitute, so anticipate compound genetics only when interrogating receptor-specific pairing.
Tyk2 null animals are straightforward to genotype and phenotype when survival is acceptable. They remain a standard background for pharmacology, biomarker, and rescue studies.

Why this approach
A conventional knockout answers whether the gene is required broadly. When your target tissue is the organ of interest, a global null can still be informative if viability is acceptable and you want the simplest genotype. If the null is harsh, a floxed allele with a regional Cre is the safer long term platform.

FAQ
What Tyk2 Knockout mouse models are available?
When Tyk2 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 Tyk2 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some Tyk2 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 Tyk2 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 Tyk2?
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.
