Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:147514
• Parent Cell Line: Not Specified (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready, Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A floxed transcription blocker cassette (loxTB) was inserted between exons 3 and 4. Expression is disrupted unless reactivated by cre mediated recombination. The absence of transcript expression was confirmed by RT-PCR on cerebral cortex, whole hypothalamus, arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, and brainstem extracts. (J:147514)
