Mutation
description
Allele Type:    Targeted (Null/knockout)
Mutations:    Insertion, Intragenic deletion
 
Mutation detailsA 4 kb region of this gene including exons 1 and 2 was replaced with a neomycin cassette via homologous recombination, resulting in the deletion of sequences encoding the translation initiation codon, signal peptide, and part of the N-terminal extracellular domain. In situ hybridization did not detect mRNA in retinal ganglion cells from brain of homozygous mutant animals. (J:74587)
