Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6J

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Endonuclease-mediated (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A G>A point mutation was introduced using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The point mutation in the kinase domain changes aspartic acid codon 443 to an asparagine codon (p.Asp443Asn or p.D443N) and creates a kinase-dead allele. Glycerol kinase activity assays showed kinase activity reduced to less than 10% of wild-type. (J:243852)
• Inheritance: Not Specified
