Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout, Reporter)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The endogenous locus was disrupted by the insertion of a cassette containing tau-lacZ and floxed PGK-neo immediately downstream of the endogenous start codon. Beta-galactosidase activity verified the expression of lacZ. (J:81604)
