Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:70606
• Parent Cell Line: CGR8 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Not Applicable)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: As a result of incorrect gene targeting, a neomycin resistance cassette inserted between exons 2 and 3 via homologous recombination. A decrease in gene expression in homozygous mutants was observed by RT-PCR analysis of total midbrain RNA using primers to exons 2 and 12. Western blot analysis of striatal membrane extracts from homozygous mutants showed greater than 95% decrease in protein expression compared to wild-type. (J:70606)
