Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:89907
• Parent Cell Line: R1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Hypomorph, Reporter)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A cassette containing IRES-lacZ and neo was inserted immediately downstream of the stop codon in exon 2. While undetectable by Northern blot analysis, transcript was identified by RT-PCR analysis indicating the amount of message in homozygous mutant mice to be severely reduced relative to that of wild-type. The inserted lacZ gene was expressed. (J:89907)
