Primary Identifier | MGI:2152588 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Map1b |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129S4/SvJae |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | Insertion of a PGK-neomycin resistance cassette into the first coding exon disrupted the light-chain binding domain of the gene. The predicted truncated product of this allele is 11 amino acids long. Immunoblot analyses of brain using antisera to the microtubule-binding domain, to the carboxy-terminal imperfect repeats region, and to phosphorylated protein, detected little or no wild-type protein in homozygous mutant mice at postnatal day 4 and at 8 weeks of age. |
