- The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6N Tac ES cell line.
- Kcnj1 exon 2 contains the complete open reading frame (ORF).
- Exon 2 has been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region 3.5 kb).
- The conditional KO allele has been obtained after Flp-mediated removal of the selection marker 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.
- Deletion of exon 2 should result in loss of function of the Kcnj1 gene by deleting the complete ORF and by removing the 3'UTR.
- The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
- The corresponding constitutive KO allele is available as line 12079.
- Datamining and Design performed in 2010.
