Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:210672
• Parent Cell Line: E14.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Humanized sequence)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The entire human cystatin C gene with a leucine 68 to glutamine (L68Q) single point mutation in exon 2 (without the human promoter) was inserted downstream of the mouse cystatin C gene promoter. ELISA confirmed the human protein in epididymal luminal fluid, and brain and testis lysates and Western blot confirmed expression in epididymal luminal fluid. (J:210672)
