| description | This locus controls electrophoretic mobility and activity level of erythrocyte GLO1. The a allele produces a fast migrating band seen in AKR, CBA/H and C57BL/6; the b allele, a slow band, in MA/MyJ. At least 6 different activity-determining alleles, designated ra through rf, are found among strains. |
| molecularNote | The L1L2_Bact_P cassette was inserted at position 30816488 of Chromosome 17 upstream of the critical exon(s) (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 the targeted exon(s) at position 30819630. The critical exon(s) is/are thus flanked by loxP sites. A "conditional ready" (floxed) allele can be created by flp recombinase expression in mice carrying this allele. Subsequent cre expression results in a knockout mouse. If cre expression occurs without flp expression, a reporter knockout mouse will be created.
