Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:77823
• Parent Cell Line: HM-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd-Hprt1^b-m3

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready, No functional change)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: The coding region in exon 2 was flanked by a loxP site in intron 1 and a floxed neo cassette inserted into exon 2. Immunohistofluorescence analysis showed that the expression pattern of this floxed allele did not differ from that of wild-type. (J:77823)
