Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:101206
• Parent Cell Line: R1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl⁺

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A sequence from exon 2 extending from the third to the seventh transmembrane segment was replaced with a floxed PGK-neo cassette. The receptor-binding pocket was deleted as well as the Asp at amino acid position 123, which is essential for ligand-receptor interaction. Deletion was confirmed by RT-PCR and Northern blot. (J:101206)
