A 3kb genomic region including exon 2 was replaced with a neo-loxP-hprt cassette via homologous recombination, resulting in deletion of 100 N-terminal amino acids in the encoded protein and a frameshift inactivating all putative protein isoforms. Homozygous mutant animals were identified by Southern blot and PCR genotype analysis. (J:50811)
