Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:50235
• Parent Cell Line: E14 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Modified isoform(s))
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: An exon containing coding sequence specific to the A isoform was deleted by replacement with a loxP-flanked neomycin cassette, followed by cre-mediated recombination in ES cells. This resulted in a single loxP site in place of the exon, and led to the exclusive expression of the B isoform in all tissues where the A isoform was normally expressed. (J:50235)
