Primary Identifier | MGI:5426855 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Hypomorph, Modified regulatory region | Gene | Nprl3 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | A 2314 bp segment encoding Nprl3 promoter P6 (Rr246493) and exon 1 was replaced with a loxP site flanked neomycin resistance gene cassette. Subsequent cre-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette. RNA-FISH analysis indicates Nprl3 expression is eliminated in many tissues but not in erythroid cells. Expression in erythroid cells from homozygous mice is about 50% that of wild-type, presumably from alternatively spliced transcripts with alternative 1st exons. |
