-
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 4 to 6 have been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region: 1.7 kb).
-
The conditional KO allele has been generated after Flp-mediated recombination by crossing chimeras to a Flp-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
-
The conditional KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Flp-transgene was removed by segregation.
-
The constitutive KO allele can be generated by Cre-mediated recombination. Deletion of exons 4-6 should result in loss of function of the Galnt2 gene, by removing the 5' half of the catalytic sub-domain A and by generating a frameshift into downstream exons which generates a premature stop codon.
-
The corresponding constitutive KO allele is available as line 9639.
