 Gene
 Origin F344/Stm rats were derived from a pair of F344/DuCrj rats purchased from Charles River Japan, Inc. and thereafter maintained by brother-sister matings for >23 generations in Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute. 
 Strain Characteristics A parental strain of LEXF/FXLE RI strains (NBRP No.0105-0138).<br />
This strain has a loss-of-function misssense mutation (Gly633Arg) in DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE IV（Dpp4）gene as F344/DuCrlCrlj strain. (July 7, 2016) 
 Breeding Conditions Good breeding performance. Sib mating.
