Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready, Humanized sequence)
• Mutations: Insertion, Single point mutation
• Mutation details: An A to G change at position 1526 (c.A1526G) resulting in a tyrosine to cysteine substitution at amino acid 509 (p.Y509C) was introduced in exon 3. A loxP site was inserted upstream of this mutated exon 3 and a second loxP site downstream of exon 4. An FRT-flanked neomycin selection cassette was inserted in reverse orientation downstream of the second loxP site and was removed via flp-mediated recombination. The Y509C mutation is homologous to the human Y508C mutation in infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia (IOSCA) patients. (J:235406)
