Targeted Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Gpx2^tm1Coh
• Name: glutathione peroxidase 2; targeted mutation 1, City of Hope, Beckman Research Institute
• MGI ID: MGI:1888703
• Synonyms: Gpx2-KO, Gpx2^tm8Coh
• Gene: Gpx2 Location: Chr12:76839107-76842273 bp, - strand Genetic Position: Chr12, 33.73 cM
• Alliance: Gpx2^tm1Coh page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:63988
• Parent Cell Line: W9.5/W95 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S1/Sv-Oca2⁺ Tyr⁺ Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A neomycin resistance cassette replaced exon 1 of the gene. Northern blots of total RNA isolated from the middle small intestine of homozygous mutant mice showed no detectable transcript of the targeted gene when probed with an exon 1 probe. This line was established simultaneously with Gpx2^tm2Coh. (J:63988)
