Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:61335
• Parent Cell Line: R1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: The gene was disrupted by replacement of exon 2, which encodes the homeodomain and NK-2 specific domain, with a neomycin resistance cassette. Absence of gene expression in homozygous mutants was confirmed by in situ hybridization of E9.5 embryos using a probe to exons 1 and 2. (J:61335)
