Model organisms have been used in the study of PLEKHM2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Plekhm2^{tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi}^[12]^[13] 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.^[14]^[15]^[16]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.^[10]^[17] Twenty six tests were carried out on mutant mice and three significant abnormalities were observed.^[10] Male homozygous mutants had increased circulating alkaline phosphatase levels and an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, while females had an increased leukocyte cell number.^[10]
