Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:77775
• Parent Cell Line: R1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A neomycin selection cassette replaced exon 1 and upstream regulatory sequence. Northern blot analysis of total RNA obtained from brain tissue showed an absence of transcript in homozygous mutant mice. A lack of encoded protein was determined via Western blot analysis of protein extracts from the brain. Protein was undetected by staining of spinal cord sections from homozygous mutant mice. (J:77775)
