Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:92940
• Parent Cell Line: Other (see notes) (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intergenic deletion
• Mutation details: A targeting vector was designed to replace an 11kb genomic fragment encompassing the Hmx2 and Hmx3 homeoboxes with a neomycin resistance gene. The only potential protein to be translated would be a truncated Hmx3 protein lacking the C-terminal portion essential for DNA-binding. (J:92940)
