- CKB expression is controlled under endogenous genomic regulatory elements, so that CKB-Flag is expressed at physiologically-relevant levels.
- Commercially available CKB antibodies do not work for immunoprecipitation, and are not 100% specific. The Ckb.Flag mouse bypasses this technical hurdle and allows investigators to leverage the specificity of FLAG affinity purification to isolate the major
- Given the specificity of affinity purification, post-translational modifications can be identified for the first time ever, from any tissue, under physiological interventions, such as different diets, ambient temperatures, physiological stress (exercise)

Advantages:
Compared to existing technologies, CKB can be isolated from any tissue in mice in response to any physiologically relevant state.
Potential Applications:
This mouse model will be a valuable resource for researchers wishing to study creatine metabolism, in any physiological or pathological state.
