Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:104648
• Parent Cell Line: Other (see notes) (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129/Sv

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Part of exon 18 and exons 19-20 were replaced with a neomycin resistance gene under the control of a thymidine kinase promoter in reverse orientation. RT-PCR detected a shorter transcript in mutants with exons 16 or 17 spliced to exon 21. Immunohistochemical stainings failed to detect protein in jejunum. (J:104648)
