Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:91531
• Parent Cell Line: Not Specified (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Crossing with mice ubiquitously expressing Cre recombinase, floxed exon 3 and a 3' neo were excised in the germ line. Exon 3 encodes the first transmembrane domain. PCR of testicular cDNA indicated that mutants expressed only a truncated transcript, shown by sequencing to be the result of the 311 deleted nucleotides from the targeted exon. (J:91531)
