molecularNote | Exons 3 and 4 as well as flanking intron containing GC-rich region upstream of exon 3 (2.4 kb total) are replaced with a PGK-neomycin cassette via homologous recombination. This removed the first 117 amino acids of the encoded protein. A truncated protein is expressed at approximately 50% normal levels. |
