Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6J
• Project Collection: Beutler Mutagenetix

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: The mutation corresponds to a T-to-A transversion at nucleotide position 999 of the gene, in the seventh of 18 exons. It causes replacement of codon 333, specifying tryptophan, by a stop codon (W333Ter), which results in truncation of the protein by 829 amino acids and loss of the C-terminal intracellular signaling domain, the transmembrane domain, and most of the extracellular region including the ligand-binding domain. (J:133632)
• Inheritance: Semidominant
