Primary Identifier | MGI:1857725 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Foxa2 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl<+> |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
description | Double null mutants for this allele and Gsctm1Bhr are altered in phenotype by embryonic day 8.75, with loss of Shh (sonic hedgehog) expression as well as that of Foxa2 in the notochord and ventral neural tube. In the forebrain, loss of expression of the fibroblast growth factor gene Fgf8 may also occur (J:41809). |
molecularNote | The entire coding sequence of the gene was replaced with a neomycin selection cassette. |
