-
The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
Exon 1 contains the translation initiation codon.
-
Exons 3 has been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region: 1.2 kb).
-
The constitutive KO allele has been generated after Cre-mediated recombination by crossing chimeras to a Cre-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
-
The constitutive KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Cre-transgene was removed by segregation.
-
Deletion of exon 3 should result in loss of function of the Elovl2 gene by deleting the two first transmembrane domains (N-terminal part of the GABBA receptor domain) and by generating a frameshift from exon 2 to exons 4 and 5 (premature Stop codon in exon 4).
-
The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
-
The corresponding conditional KO allele is available as line 11032.

Datamining and Design performed in 2009.
