Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:86547
• Parent Cell Line: TT2 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (C57BL/6NCrlj x CBA/JNCrlj)F1

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: Point mutations were introduced in the cDNA sequence which transformed the amino acids residues at positions 148-149 from Leu-Pro to Ser-Thr. The modified cDNA sequence was then fused to the start codon of exon 1 along with IRES, a neomycin resistance gene and a polyadenylation sequence. It is predicted that the resulting product would not be cleavable to release the soluble form of the protein. (J:86547)
