Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:20017
• Parent Cell Line: E14.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A PGK-neomycin cassette replaced part of exon 3 and all of exon 4. The targeting event is predicted to prevent the formation of a major part of the protein, including cysteine residues involved in all inter- and intramolecular sulfide bridges. (J:20017)
• Inheritance: Recessive
