| molecularNote | A 2 kb segment containing exon 3 through the first 170 bp of exon 4 and encoding the methyl-CpG-binding domain was replaced with a floxed neo cassette. The neo cassette was removed by germ line, cre-mediated recombination. The absence of protein product was confirmed by western blot analysis in brain and lung extracts. |
