Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:47684
• Parent Cell Line: J1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S4/SvJae

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Exon 3 was replaced with a neomycin selection cassette inserted by homologous recombination. The deleted region encoded amino acids 1 through 288, encompassing the initiating methionine and the first zinc finger domain. Transcript lacking exon 3 was detected in mutant mice by Northern blot analysis of brain tissue. Normal transcript was undetected in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area by in situ hybridization. (J:47684)
