Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready, No functional change)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A loxP site was inserted into exon 1, 49 bp upstream of the transcription start site. A loxP flanked neomycin cassette was inserted into intron 1. Gene expression was unaffected as determined by immunoblot analysis of various tissues from homozygotes. (J:132516)
