| molecularNote | Part of exon 2, which contains the active site cysteine critical for enzyme activity, and part of intron 3 were deleted by homologous recombination and replaced by a cassette comprising an independent ribosomal entry sequence (IRES), followed by a lacZ reporter gene and a neomycin cassette. Disruption of the gene was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. |
