B6;129P2-Stat3tm1Aki

Genetics

Strain Types

Mutant strain

Genetic Details

Targeted knockout

ES Cell-Line Used

E14-1

Mode of Inheritance

Recessive

1. Affected Gene Name: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3

Chromosome	11
Affected Gene Symbol	Stat3
Protein expression of altered gene:	Nil
Genetic alteration of gene:	Exons 20, 21, and 22 are replaced with the pMC1-neo gene (Stratagene). This deletion causes a loss of Src homology 2 domain and tyrosine residue, which are essential for activation of STAT proteins.
Location on chromosome (bp):	100746412-100800854 bp, - strand (From VEGA annotation of NCBI Build 37)
MGI Gene Accession ID Please also use this link to determine if other mutants have been registered with MGI (Mouse Genome Informatics)	MGI:103038
Synonyms	Aprf
Allele Name	targeted mutation 1, Shizuo Akira
Allele Symbol	Stat3tm1Aki
MGI Allele Accession ID	MGI:1926814
