129S2.Cg-Dsg3bal-Pas/Orl
Status | Available to order |
EMMA ID | EM:01161 |
International strain name | 129S2.Cg-Dsg3bal-Pas/Orl |
Alternative name | balding-Pasteur |
Strain type | Spontaneous |
Allele/Transgene symbol | Dsg3bal-Pas, |
Gene/Transgene symbol | Dsg3 |
Information from provider
Provider | Xavier Montagutelli |
Provider affiliation | Institut Pasteur |
Genetic information | A 14 bp deletion in exon 13 of the desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) gene, resulting in a frameshift and premature termination codon 7 bp downstream from the site of the deletion. It causes a truncation of the DSG3 polypeptide by 199 amino acids, eliminating virtually all of the intracellular domain. |
Phenotypic information | Homozygous mutants display runting from decreased food intake due to oropharyngeal epithelial lesions, blisters around snout and eyes, hair loss by weaning, and hair regrowth with bald patches throughout life. |
Breeding history | Always maintained on 129S2/SvPas background. Bred by crossing heterozygous mice together or heterozygous by homozygous mutant. |
