Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: (102/El x C3H/El)F1

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Radiation induced
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A C to G transversion at nucleotide position 432 in exon 3 of Cryge that creates a premature termination signal and results in a truncated protein after amino acid 143. (J:50319)
• Inheritance: Dominant

Expression

• Mouse strains and cell lines available from the International Mouse Strain Resource (IMSR)
• Carrying this Mutation: Mouse Strains: 1 strain available Cell Lines: 0 lines available
• Carrying any Cryge Mutation: 23 strains or lines available

Notes

With the discovery that the mutation is a nucleotide substitution, it has been suggested that Cryge^Cat2-t may have possibly been spontaneous instead of X-ray induced J:50319.
