Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:107006
• Parent Cell Line: TL1/TL-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S6/SvEvTac

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A targeting construct was designed to replace exons 2 and 3 with a neomycin resistance cassette, thereby preventing expression of the 71-kDa protein, but allowing expression of the 35-kDa protein. Northern and immunoblot analyses confirmed absence of wild type transcript and protein in mutant. A truncated 0.5 kb mRNA was detected in mutant mice, a truncated protein corresponding to the long isoform was not detected. (J:107006)
