Primary Identifier | MGI:4938309 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Reporter | Gene | Mecp2 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | A targeting construct was designed to insert an enhanced green fluorescent protein sequence (EGFP) sequence (preceded by sequence for linker peptide CKDPPVAT) and a loxP-flanked neomycin (neo) resistance sequence-STOP cassette in the 3' UTR. Subsequent cre-mediated recombination removed the floxed neo-STOP cassette. This allele expresses a chimeric protein with the EGFP peptide linked to the C-terminus of the endogenous peptide. |
