A neomycin resistance cassette replaced exon 3 which encodes 39 amino acids involved in homodimerization, tetramer formation, and manganese binding. RT-PCR detected a product from brain RNA that was 117 bp shorter in homozygous mutant mice than in wild type mice. SOD2 activity was not detected in homozygous mutant mice (tissue not specified) and was reduced in brain, heart, liver, and kidney of heterozygous mice. (J:29899)
