| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The gene was disrupted by homologous recombination of exons 1-3 with a neomycin resistance cassette resulting in deletion of the hydratase and dehydrogenase activites of the protein. Absence of gene expression in liver of homozygous mutant animals was demonstrated by Northern and Western blot analysis. Hydratase activity was undetectable in liver homogenates from homozygous mutants. |
