• MGI ID: MGI:3774160
• Synonyms: Mitf S73A-delta-neo
• Gene: Mitf Location: Chr6:97784013-97998310 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr6, 45.05 cM
• Alliance: Mitf^tm1.1Arnh page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:130168
• Parent Cell Line: CJ7 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S1/Sv-Oca2⁺ Tyr⁺ Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Mitf^tm1Arnh mice were crossed with a Cre deleter strain to remove the floxed neomycin cassette from germline cells. Removal of the neomycin selection cassette was confirmed by genomic PCR. Coat pigmentation is more enhanced in homozygotes compared to homozgyotes of the Mitf^tm1Arnh parental strain. (J:130168)
