Transgene
description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Hoxb7-RET/AKAP1)1Cos expresses 2 genes
 
Mutation detailsThe transgene consists of the tyrosine kinase domain of human RET fused to a portion of the human AKAP1 gene, followed by sequences from human beta globin. The fusion gene is found in certain papillary thyroid carcinomas as a result of chromosomal rearrangement. Mouse Hoxb7 promoter sequences drive transgene expression throughout the uretic bud branches. (J:52988)

Notes
Trangenic founders all exhibit low transgene copy numbers and a low frequency of transmission to progeny. Four out of seven transgenic embryos examined at days E19-E19 displayed renal abnormalities.
