Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Hypomorph)
• Mutation: Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 5 followed by a FRT-flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette, and a second loxP site downstream of exon 5 of the gene. A mutant exon 5, with a glutamic acid residue deletion, was inserted downstream of the neo cassette. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT-flanked neo cassette. Cre-mediated recombination removed the wild-type exon 5 and allows expression of mutant exon 5. (J:225567)
