Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:38210
• Parent Cell Line: J1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S4/SvJae

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: Insertion of a neomycin cassette preceeded by sequences containing translation termination codons in all three reading frames into the first exon. Northern blot analysis on homogenates of lenses from homozygous mutant mice indicated that no protein is produced from this allele. (J:38210)
• Inheritance: Recessive
