Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:78649
• Parent Cell Line: Not Specified (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129X1/SvJ

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Exon 1, encoding the translational start site, was replaced by a neomycin selection cassette via homologous recombination. RT-PCR analysis of total brain RNA obtained from homozygous mutant mice showed a lack of transcript produced by the targeted locus. The absence of encoded protein was verified by Western blot analysis of brain homogenates as well as by immunocytochemical analysis of coronal sections. (J:78649)
