Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Humanized sequence)
• Mutations: Insertion, Single point mutation
• Mutation details: A floxed pgk-neo cassette upstream of exon 4 and a C to A mutation in exon 4 resulting in a glutamine to lysine substitution at amino acid position 455 (Q455K), were introduced via homologous recombination. Cre mediated recombination removed the neo cassette. (J:179022)
