Mutation description

Allele Type: Spontaneous (Null/knockout) Mutation: Transposon insertion Mutation details: A retrotransposon insertion occurred within intron 4, causing aberrant splicing of the gene. Protein was abolished as shown by Northern blot and immunoblot analysis. The insertion was 6000bp in size. This allele was found only in A/J mice, not in A/WySnJ, A/HeJ, C57BL/6J, SJL/J, SWR/J or 129/SvJ mice. (J:92838, J:149430, J:149432) Inheritance: Not Specified
