| molecularNote | The L1L2_Bact_P cassette was inserted at position 34845737 of Chromosome 16 upstream of the critical exon 2 (Build GRCm39). The cassette is composed of an FRT site followed by lacZ sequence and a loxP site. This first loxP site is followed by a neomycin resistance gene under the control of the human beta-actin promoter, SV40 polyA, a second FRT site and a second loxP site. A third loxP site is inserted downstream of exon 2 at position 34846568. Exon 2 is thus flanked by loxP sites. A null/knockout allele was created by cre recombinase expression in mice carrying the tm1a allele to remove the neo selection cassette and loxP-flanked exon 2. Western blot analysis confirmed the absence of encoded protein in E9.5 homozygous mutant embryos.
