Primary Identifier | MGI:1856247 | Allele Type | Spontaneous |
Gene | Kit | Inheritance Mode | Semidominant |
Strain of Origin | C3H/HeJ | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | Southern hybridization analyses of genomic DNA using probes corresponding to two specific lengths of amino acids from c-kit suggests that this allele comprises a 4-5 kb insertion that disrupts c-kit. The level of c-kit mRNA in homozygotes is markedly reduced. |
