Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:13574
• Parent Cell Line: D3 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S2/SvPas

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: Insertion of a neomycin cassette into exon 3. This disruption selectively prevents the synthesis of the alpha 1 isoform. RNAase protection analysis indicated that the mRNA encoding the alpha 1 isoform was mutated in this allele, and the alpha 2 isoform was transcribed normally. (J:13574)
