Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:16490
• Parent Cell Line: AB1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The insertion of a neomycin cassette into exon 3 disrupted the open reading frame at codon 107. Western blot analysis revealed an absence of encoded protein in liver extracts from homozygous mutant mice. Spectrographic analysis showing a lack of urate oxidase activity in liver extracts, confirmed functional ablation in homozygous mutant mice. (J:16490)
