| description | The data reported for this allele were originally described in: Bangash MA, Park JM, Melnikova T, Wang D, Jeon SK, Lee D, Syeda S, Kim J, Kouser M, Schwartz J, Cui Y, Zhao X, Speed HE, Kee SE, Tu JC, Hu JH, Petralia RS, Linden DJ, Powell CM, Savonenko A, Xiao B, Worley PF. Enhanced polyubiquitination of Shank3 and NMDA receptor in a mouse model of autism. Cell. 2011 May 27;145(5):758-72. PMID:21565394. This paper was retracted; however, the prinicpal investigator has confirmed the validity of the data related to the molecular gene targeting and the phenotypic description of the mutant mice carrying this allele. Please see the retraction notes for further details about the data in the original paper. |
| molecularNote | A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 21. An FRT-flanked neo cassette with a 3' loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 21. Cre-mediated recombination removed exon 21 and the neo cassette. No wild-type protein is detected in homozygous mice but a lower molecular weight mutant protein is detected by western blot analysis. |
