Primary Identifier | MGI:1861929 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Gck |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | A fragment of the gene spanning exon 2 was replaced by a neomycin resistance cassette, resulting in a deletion and a frame shift of the transcript. Mice heterozygous for the targeted mutation had a 37% reduction in glucose phosphorylation activity in islet homogenates and a 28% reduction of activity in liver compared with wild-type littermates. |
