Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Conditional ready, No functional change)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 5. A floxed neo cassette was inserted downstream of exon 5. Cre-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette and left exon 5 floxed. (J:174505)
