BPIFA3
BPI fold containing family A, member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BPIFA3 gene.[1] The gene is also known as SPLUNC3 and C20orf71 in humans and the orthologous gene in mice is 1700058C13Rik.[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of BPIFA3 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called 1700058C13Riktm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[6][7] 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 — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[8][9][10]
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[4][11] Twenty three tests were carried out on mutant mice, but no significant abnormalities were observed.[4]
