Strain Description
The GIPR gene encodes the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor (GIPR), a G protein-coupled receptor with notable expression in pancreatic β-cells, and also detected in the gastrointestinal tract, adipose tissue, and brain [1-2]. The GIPR protein acts as the cognate receptor for gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), a key incretin hormone that potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion, thereby regulating systemic glucose homeostasis [2]. While prominently expressed in pancreatic β-cells, GIPR is also present in tissues including the stomach and small intestine [3]. Dysregulation of GIPR function and genetic variants within GIPR have been implicated in metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, and potentially in the pathogenesis of endocrine tumors and retinoblastoma [4-5]. Emerging evidence suggests a role for GIPR signaling in immunomodulation and inflammation within the gut, highlighting its potential relevance in inflammatory bowel diseases [3]. Currently, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeting GIPR are being explored for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Intriguingly, GIPR may exhibit context-dependent roles within tumor microenvironments, with some evidence suggesting tumor-suppressive functions in specific cancers such as retinoblastoma [4-5]. This multifaceted nature positions GIPR as a compelling therapeutic target for metabolic and inflammatory diseases and potentially selected malignancies.
B6-hGIPR mouse is a humanized model generated using gene editing technology, in which the Exon 3~14 of the coding sequence (CDS) encoding the human GIPR protein and the 3'UTR of mouse Gipr gene are integrated into a specific site within the mouse Gipr gene, while retaining the endogenous gene sequence encoding the murine signal peptide (aa.1~18) and aa.19. This model can be used for studying the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic approaches of metabolic and inflammatory diseases and potentially selected malignancies, as well as for the development of GIPR-targeted drugs.

Strain Strategy
The exon 3 to partial intron 3 of mouse Gipr was replaced with Exon 3~14 of Human GIPR CDS-3'UTR of Mouse Gipr-WPRE-BGH pA cassette. The murine signal peptide and aa.19 were preserved.
