Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:54994
• Parent Cell Line: AB2.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1^b-m2

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A 1.8kb genomic fragment containing exon 3 was replaced by an HPRT minigene. These sequences encode three of the four transmembrane domains, the amphipathic helix domain and the four cysteines essential for ligand binding. No transcript produced from this allele was detectable by northern blotting. (J:54994)
