C9orf156
Chromosome 9 open reading frame 156 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C9orf156 gene.[1] The gene is also known as NAP1 and HSPC219; the orthologue in mice is 5830415F09Rik.[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of C9orf156 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called 5830415F09Riktm1a(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 — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[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, but no significant abnormalities were observed.[4]
