Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:188626
• Parent Cell Line: HM-1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd-Hprt1^b-m3

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Inserted expressed sequence, Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: Cre-mediated recombination of Gjb2^{tm3.1(Gjb1)Kwi} removed the floxed lacZ and allowed for expression of the inserted coding sequence. Western blot analysis confirmed reduced protein expresion in embryonic skin and placenta. (J:188626)
