Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A neomycin resistance cassette was inserted into sequences encoding the recognition helix of the homeobox domain. Western blot analysis on nuclear extracts derived from E10.5 embryos indicated that the protein is absent in homozygous mice. (J:43769)
