Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: STOCK Mlph^ln a Tgfa^wa1 Cdh23^v Ednrb^s

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: Sequencing of RT-PCR products revealed a nonsense mutation in arginine codon 105 (p.R105*) resulting from a C-to-T point mutation. The 16 kDa leptin protein, expressed predominantly in adipose tissue of normal mice, is missing from homozygous mutant mice (J:29081). (J:20512, J:29081, J:45748)
• Inheritance: Recessive
