Mutation
description
Allele Type:    Endonuclease-mediated (Not Applicable)
Mutation:    Nucleotide substitutions
 
Mutation detailsCRISPR/Cas9 technology changed the first six serine/threonine residues to alanine in the C-terminal tail (S388A, T389A, S391A, S392A, S394A, S395A) that are predicted GRK phosphorylation sites. Both the short and long isoforms are affected by this change. (J:319414)
