| Genetic information | Exons 2-5 have been flanked by loxP sites, as their genetic ablation should result in loss of function by deletion of the translation initiation site located in exon 2 and of the exons encoding the N-terminal segment of the NEXN protein (see EMMA strain EM:05495). The constitutive knock-out mutation has been obtained by in vivo cre recombinase-mediated deletion. |
| Phenotypic information | TO BE PROVIDED |
| Breeding history | Targeting performed in C57BL/6N ES cells and confirmed by Southern blotting. Nexn floxed mice were crossed to C57BL/6N-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm16(cre)Arte mice to obtain the Nexn null allele. Maintained on C57BL/6N background. |
