Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Endonuclease-mediated (Hypomorph)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Zinc finger targeted endonuclease technology generated a 20 bp deletion at the N-terminus that included the original start codon. mRNA expression level is normal but a truncated protein that lacked the first 16 amino acids residues was produced. (J:211781)
