• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:109701
• Parent Cell Line: GSI-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129X1/SvJ

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Exon 10 was removed via cre-mediated recombination. A neomycin resistance cassette flanked by frt sites remained in the locus. Northern blot analysis confirmed absence of mRNA in the brain, testis and liver of homozygous mutant mice. (J:109701)
