  Ins2	(MGI:96573)

• Mutation details: The transgenic construct was composed of the rat insulin II promoter and the 3.5 kb cDNA fragment containing the entire mouse Nos2 gene coding region with the SV40 intron/polyadenylation signal ligated to it. Line 31 was subsequently established. Western blot analysis shows expression of Nos2 in pancreatic islets, but nowhere else. (J:45520)
