Mchr1^tm1Sqn
Targeted Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Mchr1^tm1Sqn
• Name: melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1; targeted mutation 1, Su Qian
• MGI ID: MGI:2451034
• Synonyms: Mch1r^-, Mchr1 KO
• Gene: Mchr1 Location: Chr15:81119700-81123165 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr15, 38.02 cM
• Alliance: Mchr1^tm1Sqn page

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:81787
• Parent Cell Line: AB2.2 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1^b-m2

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: The gene was disrupted by replacement of exon 2 with a neomycin resistance cassette. The targeted mutation results in deletion of sequences spanning the first transmembrane domain to the stop codon. Absence of gene expression in homozygous mutant animals was confirmed by in situ hybridization analysis of coronal brain sections. (J:81787)
