Model organisms have been used in the study of FAM134C function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Fam134ctm2a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[6][7] 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.[8][9][10]
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[4][11] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice and four significant abnormalities were observed.[4] Homozygous animals had an abnormal xyphoid process and eye morphology.[11] Females had increased indirect calorimetry parameters while males had an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection.[4]
