| Primary Identifier | MGI:3036781 | Allele Type | Targeted |
| Attribute String | Null/knockout | Gene | Elovl3 |
| Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl<+> |
| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The gene was disrupted by replacement of the transcription start and exons 1 and 2 of the genomic DNA with a neomycin cassette via homologous recombination. Northern blot analysis on brown adipose tissue, skin, and liver samples of homozygous mice demonstrated that no detectable transcript is produced from this allele. |
