molecularNote | A 1.2 kb neomycin cassette replaced 129 bp of exon 12 of the gene. This disrupted the calmodulin binding site of the protein and introduced a premature stop codon into the transcripts. Immunohistochemisty of heart and kidney sections from homozygous mutant mice confirmed that no detectable encoded protein was present. |
