Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:62214
• Parent Cell Line: AB2.2 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1^b-m2

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Not Specified)
• Mutation: Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: A point mutation was introduced that altered codon 101 from one encoding histidine to one encoding arginine (H101R). This alteration had been shown to render the GABA-A receptor insensitive to drugs such as diazepam. A loxP flanked neomycin selection cassette was also inserted into an adjacent intron, but was removed by Cre mediated recombination in the final allele. (J:62214)
