Model organisms have been used in the study of DUSP3 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Dusp3tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[8][9] 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.[10][11][12]
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[6][13] Twenty five tests were carried out on mutant mice and four significant abnormalities were observed.[6] Homozygous mutants had an increased percent of body fat, abnormal humerus morphology and an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection. Corpus callosum area, hippocampus area and total brain section area was increased, while length of pyramidal cell layer was reduced.[6]
