Targeted Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Pcdha^tm4.1Tyag
• Name: protocadherin alpha cluster; targeted mutation 4.1, Takeshi Yagi
• MGI ID: MGI:3829038
• Synonyms: Pcdhalpha^deltaB
• Gene: Pcdha Location: unknown Genetic Position: Chr18, Syntenic

Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:143248
• Parent Cell Line: TT2 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: (C57BL/6NCrlj x CBA/JNCrlj)F1

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Modified isoform(s))
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: An in-frame termination codon followed by a floxed neomycin resistance gene cassette was inserted at the first codon of the fourth exon, which encodes a subtype-specific region of isoform B. Germ line cre-mediated recombination was used to remove the neo cassette. The absence of isoform B protein expression was confirmed by western blot analysis on brain extracts. Expression of isoform A protein is unaffected. (J:143248)
