Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: Not Specified

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: Sequencing of partial gp87 cDNA from homozygous mutant melanocytes showed this mutation comprises a G to A substitution at base 1808, resulting in a premature stop codon and truncation of the protein in the C-terminal cystolic domain. (J:22779, J:58687)
• Inheritance: Recessive
