| Primary Identifier | MGI:1934905 | Allele Type | Targeted |
| Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Fbn1 |
| Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129S4/SvJae |
| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | A neomycin selection cassette replaced a 6 kb genomic fragment containing exons 19-24, resulting in an in-frame deletion of coding sequences. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis on RNA derived from lungs, skin and skeletal muscles of homozygous mice demonstrated that a mutant transcript was produced from this allele, although approximately at ten-fold reduced levels compared to wild-type. Immunoprecipitation and immunocytochemistry experiments on fibroblasts isolated from homozygous mice confirmed that a shortened protein was made at reduced levels compared to wild-type. |
