Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:62797
• Parent Cell Line: E14.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Exons 3 through 5 were replaced by a neomycin selection cassette. The deleted region encompassed 429 bp encoding the second transmembrane domain and a portion of the pore region. While normal transcript was undetected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis, low levels of an aberrant transcript in which exon 2 spliced to exon 6 were observed in homozygous mutant embryos. (J:62797)
