Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: BALB/c

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU) (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: ENU mutagenesis induced a T to A point mutation that results in the amino acid substitution of a termination codon for tyrosine at position 172 (Y172X). Western blot analysis confirmed the absence of protein expression in the brain. (J:211825)
• Inheritance: Recessive
