Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:59678
• 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: The catalytic domain of this gene, encompassing subdomains V and VI, was replaced with a neomycin resistance cassette via homologous recombination which introduced stop codons in all 3 reading frames and results in a truncated kinase lacking amino acids 130-383. Northern blot of spleen from homozygous mutant animals verified the absence of gene expression and kinase assay of mouse embryonic fibroblasts verified the absence of enzyme activity. (J:59678)
