Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:88182
• 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: A genomic fragment, encompassing a portion of exon 1 and all of exons 2 through 4, was replaced with a neomycin selection cassette inserted by homologous recombination. 86 bp of the exon 1 coding region, as well as the coding region of exon 5, were left intact, however no protein was detected in homozygous mutant retinal tissue by immunofluorescence. (J:88182)
