Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:42815
• Parent Cell Line: J1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S4/SvJae

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A 5 kb region of the gene encompassing exon 3 was replaced with a PGK-neo cassette via homologous recombination resulting in deletion of the second zinc finger of the DNA-binding domain. RT-PCR analysis of intestines and kidneys from homozygous mutant animals detected a mutant transcript. Sequence analysis revealed a 131 bp deletion corresponding to the second zinc finger and results in a frameshift and nonsense codon 12 bp downstream. (J:42815)
