Zbtb16 Knockout mouse models
Zbtb16 is the mouse ortholog of human ZBTB16 (PLZF), a transcriptional repressor combining an N-terminal BTB or POZ dimerization domain with nine C-terminal C2H2 zinc fingers, which recruits NCOR1, SMRT, HDAC, and PRC1 components to target promoters and enforces spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal, innate effector programming of invariant natural killer T cells, and limb and axial skeletal patterning. In oncology it appears as the 5 prime partner of the t(11;17) ZBTB16-RARA fusion in a rare, all-trans retinoic acid resistant variant of acute promyelocytic leukemia, where the BTB domain drives constitutive oligomerization and corepressor recruitment that pharmacologic retinoid concentrations cannot dislodge. Germline nulls are viable, phenocopying the luxoid mutant with limb and vertebral defects and progressive loss of spermatogonial stem cells, so conditional nulls suit adult germline and immune endpoints, whereas inducible fusion knockins address differentiation therapy resistance. No close paralog substitutes for this BTB and zinc finger combination, so single-locus deletion is interpretable with a lineage-matched Cre.
Global Zbtb16 deletion answers broad mechanism questions quickly. If timing or site matters, conditional alleles are a natural next step after the null is characterized.

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 Zbtb16 Knockout mouse models are available?
When Zbtb16 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 Zbtb16 knockout embryonic lethal in mice?
It depends on background and allele design. Some Zbtb16 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 Zbtb16 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 Zbtb16?
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.
