Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Not Specified)
• Mutations: Insertion, Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: An alanine substitution for serine at amino acid 368 (AGC to GCT) at a protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation site was introduced in exon II and a floxed PGK-Neo cassette was inserted upstream of exon II. Western blot analysis of whole heart lysates showed that the protein expression level is reduced by more than 70%. (J:253159)
