Symbol:	Eif2ak3tm1Dron
Name:	eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3; targeted mutation 1, David Ron
MGI ID:	MGI:2177666
Synonyms:	perk -
Gene:	Eif2ak3  Location: Chr6:70821499-70882229 bp, + strand  Genetic Position: Chr6, 32.09 cM
Alliance:	Eif2ak3tm1Dron page

Germline Transmission:	Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:70005
Parent Cell Line:	W4 (ES Cell)
Strain of Origin:	129S6/SvEvTac

Allele Type:    Targeted (Null/knockout) Mutations:    Insertion, Intragenic deletion   Mutation details: A neomycin selection cassette replaced 1.6 kb of DNA containing the transmembrane domain. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that at least 10-fold less transcript was produced from this allele that the wild-type. However, western blot analysis on cells derived from homozygous mice confirmed that no detectable protein was expressed from this allele. (J:62257)
