Model organisms have been used in the study of FUNDC1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Fundc1^{tm1a(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 two tests were carried out on mutant mice, however no significant abnormalities were observed.^[4]
