Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:66262
• Parent Cell Line: RW-4 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129X1/SvJ

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Insertion of a PGK-neomycin resistance cassette deleted 119 bp of exon III downstream of the initiation codon, intron 3, and 68 bp of exon IV, and inserted a stop codon immediately downstream of the aa 13 codon. The deleted sequences encode amino acids 14-73. Western and Northern blot analyses did not detect expression in any tissues from homozygous mutant mice. (J:66262)
