• Name: heat shock protein 2; targeted mutation 1, David J Dix
• MGI ID: MGI:2447605
• Synonyms: Hsp70-2^-
• Gene: Hspa2 Location: Chr12:76450950-76453712 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr12, 33.73 cM
• Alliance: Hspa2^tm1Dix page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:35110
• Parent Cell Line: BK4 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The endogenous locus was disrupted by the insertion of a neomycin selection cassette inserted by homologous recombination. Transcript was undetected by Northern blot analysis of testicular tissue obtained from homozygous mutant mice. Immunostaining of testicular sections indicated an absence of normal protein in seminiferous tubules. (J:35110)
