Elovl3 knockout, ELOVL3-ablated (E3hom) mice and their wild type littermates were compared. E3hom mice had abnormal ocular phenotypes such as delayed eye opening, weeping eyes, crusty eyelids, eyelid edema, highly vascularized cornea and tarsal plates (TPs), slit eye, and increased tearing. E3hom TPs had abnormal esters, wax esters, and cholesteryl esters of (O)-acylated w-hydroxy fatty acids.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
