Kif3a^tm1Gsn

Exon 2 was deleted by cre recombinase removal of a targeting vector containing the exon flanked by loxP sites. The resulting transcript was translated out of reading frame, generating a 62 amino acid nonsense protein. Northern and Western blots of heterozygous mutants showed that no fragments or aberrant products were made from the mutant gene. Western blots of homozygous mutants showed an absence of the targeted protein. This allele was generated from Kif3atm2Gsn. (J:54575)
