Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: KK

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: Sequence analysis of the Lepr gene in the hyperinsulinemic KK mouse strain identified a conservative amino acid substitution; Asp(600)Asn in a highly conserved area of the protein. Data suggests that the variant contributes to the obesity phenotype seen in mice, but that the contribution is only part of a multigenic syndrome. (J:53637)
