Strain of Origin: DBA/2J
Mutation
description
Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU)
Mutation: Undefined
  The result of ENU mutagenesis, the mutation at the Car2 locus is likely a nonsense or missense mutation. Molecular analysis shows that the mutant gene is not deleted but is transcribed. The CAR2 protein could not be detected by immunodiffusion analysis and Southern analysis indicates no detectable rearrangements or polymorphisms. (J:19268)
Inheritance: Recessive
