The targeting vector is designed to insert a loxP-flanked STOP cassette, containing a neomycin resistance cassette, upstream of exon 2 of the gene. Exon 2 was modified to harbor a missense mutation at codon 29, resulting in a proline to serine mutation (P29S) commonly found in patients with cutaneous melanoma. (J:277539)
