Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:95050
• Parent Cell Line: HM-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd-Hprt1^b-m3

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: In ES cells previously targeted for deletion of the coding sequence, a vector was used to insert the Gja1 genomic intron-exon 2 boundry and to change codon 258 to a stop codon. Northern blot of heart, brain and liver demonstrated that mutants expressed no wild-type mRNA. (J:95050)
