Primary Identifier | MGI:5810209 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Apoe |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | C57BL/6J |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The targeting vector contains a 3' FRT flanked neo cassette and 1.5 kb of human APOE gene sequence including exons 2, 3, 4 and a portion of the 3'UTR sequence (the APOE4 isoform) which is used to replace exons 2, 3 and most of exon 4 of the endogenous sequence. The human APOE sequence carries a 2 nucleotide A-to-T substitution in intron 3. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT-flanked neo cassette. |
