BPIFA3

BPI fold containing family A, member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "BPIFA3" gene. The gene is also known as "SPLUNC3 and C20orf71" in humans and the orthologous gene in mice is "1700058C13Rik".
Model organisms.
Model organisms have been used in the study of BPIFA3 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called "1700058C13Riktm1a(KOMP)Wtsi" 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 — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Twenty three tests were carried out on mutant mice, but no significant abnormalities were observed.
