Detailed description

This targeted mutant was created and characterized by Deltagen, Inc. View phenotypic data developed by Deltagen.

Development

The construct insert is reported to be "IRES-lacZ-Neo555G." Upon arrival, these mice had been backcrossed four generations to C57BL/6. During the importation process at The Jackson Laboratory, at least one additional backcross to C57BL/6J mice was performed. The resulting mice are backcrossed a total of at least five generations.

Allele

Symbol: Ptpro^tm1Dgen
Name: targeted mutation 1, Deltagen
MGI accession ID: MGI:3604600
Generation method: Targeted
Attributes: Reporter; Null/Knockout
Marker symbol: Ptpro
Marker name: protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, O
Chromosome: 6
Strain of origin: 129P2/OlaHsd
Expressed genes: lacZ,beta-galactosidase,E. coli
Site of expression: lacZ expression is detected in: brain, spinal cord, retina, heart, kidney, pituitary gland, testis, prostate gland and cervix.
Molecular note: A bacterial lacZ gene was inserted into the gene such that the endogenous gene promoter drives expression of beta-galactosidase. While RNA transcripts are detected in various organs, beta-galactosidase expression from this allele is detectable in brain, spinal cord, retina, heart, kidney, pituitary gland, testis, prostate gland and cervix.
