Notes
Three transgenic lines were created and bred to homozygosity. The highest expressing line was used for characterization. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that transgene expression is confined to skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue. Transgene expression is 66-fold of wild-type in skeletal muscle and 50% of wild-type in brown adipose tissue.
