The modified vector was inserted at position 155587519 of Chromosome X upstream of the exon2. (Build GRCm38). The cassette is composed of an FRT site followed by lacZ sequence and a loxP site. This first loxP site is followed by neomycin resistance gene under the control of the human beta-actin promoter, SV40 polyA, a second FRT site and a second loxP site. A third loxP site is inserted downstream of exon 2 at position 155587393. Exon 2 is thus flanked by loxP sites. A null/knockout allele was created by flp and cre recombinase expression in mice carrying this allele to remove the lacZ sequence, neo selection cassette and the exon 2. (J:251210)
