| molecularNote | A neomycin resistance cassette replaced a DNA segment containing most of the first exon including the translation initiation codon. Northern blot analysis on RNA isolated from gut, liver, kidney and spleen demonstrated that an aberrant transcript was made in gut, but no transcript was detectable elsewhere. Immunohistochemistry on sections of intestine of homozygous mice confirmed that no detectable protein was expressed from this allele. |
