• Strain of Origin: 129S2/SvPas

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: Insertion of a neomycin resistance cassette into exon 6 disrupted the Alox5 gene. RT-PCR studies did not detect transcript in resident peritoneal macrophages of homozygous mutant mice. Western blot analysis of resident peritoneal macrophages of homozygous mutant mice did not detect ALOX5. (J:21372)
