Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:211953
• Parent Cell Line: RW-4 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129X1/SvJ

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Hypomorph)
• Mutation: Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: A point mutation resulted in L444P substitution was introduced by PCR mutagenesis. Cre mediated recombination removed loxP-flanked neomycin cassette between metaxin and glucocerebrosidase, leaving only a 34 bp loxP sequence. Gba activity decreased to approximately 35% of the enzyme activity in normal mice. (J:211953)
