• MGI ID: MGI:2183737
• Synonyms: SP-A(-)
• Gene: Sftpa1 Location: Chr14:40853745-40858330 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr14, 22.36 cM
• Alliance: Sftpa1^tm1Kor page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:35250
• Parent Cell Line: E14.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Portions of exons 3 and 4 (base pairs 795 through 1049) were deleted by the insertion of a PGK-neo cassette. Northern blot analysis of RNA obtained from lung tissue showed an absence of transcript in homozygous mutant mice. The lack of encoded protein was confirmed by Western blot analysis of lung homogenates and immunohistochemical staining of alveolar type II cells. (J:35250)
