Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:100525
• 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 EGFP gene replaced most of the coding region of the alternative first exon. A translational stop cassette ws inserted downstream of EGFP. In situ hybridization confirmed the absence of expression in mutant testis. Wesetern blot failed to detect the nuclear protein form in mutants. (J:100525)
