Is there any database to find housekeeping genes with two and three copy number in mouse?

I am trying to get a list of housekeeping genes with two and three copy numbers. Is there any database to find these genes. Please help.

Can you elaborate? If your question fits in one sentence you did not explain it sufficiently. How do you mean two and three copy number? Paralog genes?

Also: houskeeping genes are highly tissue specific. So you also should clarify that.

Yes, it can have paralogs but the gene should be having two or three copies. Is there a way to find this? I know not all housekeeping genes could be having more than one copy but if I could get a list of two or three copy genes, that would also do the job.

Since mice are diploid all genes (except those on the sex chromosomes) already have 2 copies.

@WouterDeCoster is there any database for this. I mean it should be having details of the gene, how many copies and its paralogs if any.
