Primary Identifier | MGI:1855950 | Allele Type | Chemically induced (ENU) |
Gene | a | Inheritance Mode | Recessive |
Strain of Origin | (C3H/HeH x 101/H)F1 | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
description | As a16H/Ay and a16H/al mice are viable, the lethal site of a16H must differ from that of the other two lethal alleles. a16H/a mice resemble A/A on the belly and flanks and a/a on the back. (Lyon MF 1985). |
molecularNote | Sequence analysis showed this allele comprises a T to C transition in the agouti coding region. Northern analysis of mRNA from skin of homozygotes showed levels 70% of wild-type. |
