Chst3^tm1Dgen

A bacterial lacZ gene was inserted into the gene such that the endogenous gene promoter drives expression of beta-galactosidase. RNA transcripts are normally detectable in spleen and lymph nodes, spinal cord, eye, lung, pancreas, adrenal gland, stomach, testis, ovary, whole brain, cortex, subcortical region, cerebellum, brainstem, olfactory bulb, Harderian glands, heart, liver, kidney, thymus, bone marrow, skin, gallbladder, urinary bladder, pituitary gland, salivary gland, skeletal muscle, tongue, small intestine, cecum, colon, epididymis, seminal vesicle, coagulating gland, prostate gland, uterus and white fat. Strong lacZ expression was detected in most organs examined. LacZ expression was not detected in gallbladder and uterus.
