Myt1Flox - Mouse Strain RES229


Mouse Information

Common Name: Myt1Flox
MGI Official Name: Myt1tm1.1Ggu
Description: Two loxP sites flank exon 6 of Myt1b.  The allele behaves as wild type allele without Cre-mediated deletion.  Cre-mediated deletion creates null Myt1 allele.  The homozygous null is neonatal lethal. Myt1 null pancreas has abnormal islet cell differentiation, i.e. single cells produce multiple hormones.  Pancreatic-specific Myt1 deletion results in glucose intolerance in males.
Categories: Cre-lox floxed alleles


Genetic Alterations

1) Targeted Mutagenesis
Type of Allele Conditional Null
Targeted Gene Myt1 (myelin transcriptioin factor 1)   (Myt1 - NCBI GeneID:1100535 )
Targeted Allele targeted mutation 1.1 (Myt1tm1.1Ggu - MGI:3765056)
Description of Targeting Vector The gene target contains DTA as a negative selection marker and FRT-flanked pGK-neo as a positive selection marker. The target has an 8.2 kb 5' arm and a 4 kb 3' arm. The floxed region is 1 kb.
