Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:72658
• Parent Cell Line: E14 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: The 3' portion of exon 2 and all of exon 3 were replaced by the insertion of a neomycin resistance cassette. The deleted region encodes part of the invariant amino terminus, common to all isoforms. A lack of protein surface expression was observed in spleen, lymph node, and thymus cells via flow cytometry. (J:72658)
