• Parent Cell Line: Not Specified (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Inserted expressed sequence)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A floxed neo cassette was inserted upstream of a modified exon in which nucleotide substitution (A to C) results in the amino acid substitution of alanine for serine at position 421 (S421A). Cre-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette. (J:178533)
