A mutation in mouse Krüppel-like factor 15 alters the gut microbiome and response to obesogenic diet.

We identified a mouse strain, HLB444, carrying an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutation in a highly conserved C2H2 zinc-finger DNA binding motif of the transcriptional regulator KLF15 that exhibits resistance to diet-induced obesity. Characterization of the HLB444 mutant model on high-fat and...
