| Primary Identifier | MGI:1857220 | Allele Type | Targeted |
| Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Myf6 |
| Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129S1/Sv-Oca2<+> Tyr<+> Kitl<+> |
| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| description | Studies have shown that Myf6 may regulate Myf5 expression by a cis-acting mechanism and that the skeletal abnormalities seen in Myf6 homozygotes may result from a decrease or lack of Myf5 expression (J:29279, J:42453). This allele (Myf6tm1Wb) exhibits normal Myf5 expression at E8 but by E10, expression is reduced (J:29279). |
| molecularNote | Replacement of DNA sequences encoding codons 40-173 with a neomycin cassette. This mutation eliminates the helix-loop-helix domain of the protein. Expression of Myf5 is seen at E8, however by E10, it is lower and remains lower. |
