Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A targeting vector was designed to replace a 3.6 kb fragment encoding the ORF, exons 8-10, with a neomycin resistance gene and HSV-TK driven by the PGK promoter. Northern blot and Western blot of MEFs confirmed absence of transcript and protein, respectively. (J:100539)
