| Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6NCrlj x CBA/JNCrlj)F1 |
| Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 4 and a floxed neomycin cassette was placed downstream. After targeting and selection, transient expression of cre recombinase removed the neomycin cassette and exon 4. Exon 4 encodes a zinc finger domain common to the three major protein isoforms of the gene locus. Immunoblot analysis of homozygote embryonic fibroblasts indicated all three isoforms of the gene locus were absent. |
