Lepr^db-3J

Sequence analysis of the 3J allele revealed a 17 nucleotide deletion beginning at base 1874. This deletion results in a shift of the reading frame, and a premature termination of the protein at the 11th amino acid after the deletion site. The mutation is predicted to result in a truncated receptor without a transmembrane domain and affects all Lepr splice variants. (J:40658)
