Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted
• Mutations: Insertion, Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: Nculeotide substitutions (AAG to CGG) result in the amino acid substitution of arginine for lysine at position 271 (K271R). Cre-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette and leaves a 121 lox in intron 9. This mutation is expected to ablate kinase activity. (J:187314, J:240799)
