A Betagal and neomycin cassette replaced exons 3-5, which encode critical portions of the enzyme catalytic site. Also, a translation stop codon was introduced into exon 2. RT-PCR of total epididymis RNA from mutants showed no transcript was present. Western blot of mutant epididymis confirmed a lack of protein. (J:93797)
