Primary Identifier | MGI:3688749 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Myh6-Myl2*)21Rbns |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | This transgene consists of the full-length adult mouse (BALB/c) ventricular isoform of Myl2 (regulatory myosin light chain 2) with serines 14, 15, and 19 each mutated and replaced by alanine, under the control of the murine alpha-myosin heavy chain promoter. Replacing the three serines with alanines results in a nonphosphorylatable Myl2. Examination of atrial myofibrillar protein composition shows a progressive replacement of the atrial isoform with the mutated ventricular form as mice age. |
