Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:90033
• Parent Cell Line: TL1/TL-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S6/SvEvTac

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout, Reporter)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Exons 2 - 4 were replaced with LacZ and a nuclear localization signal via homologous recombination. Protein and mRNA expression were absent from white adipose tissue. Immunoblot analysis and radioimmunoassay also confirmed the absence of dirculating protein. LacZ expression is detected in white adipose tissue. (J:90033)
