description
Allele Type:    Targeted (Null/knockout)
Mutations:    Insertion, Intragenic deletion
 
Mutation detailsExon 4 encoding the dual-specificity phosphatase domain (DSPD) was replaced with a neomycin resistance gene via homologous recombination. Absence of gene expression was verified by Northern blot and RT-PCR analysis of brain and liver tissue from homozygous mutant animals using probes to the DSPD exon and upstream exons 1-3. Cre-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette. (J:199271)
