STOCK Tor1atm4.1Wtd/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250654

Common Name: Tor1aswap
Tor1aswap mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exon 5 of the Tor1a gene, and also contains a downstream mutant exon 5. Removal of the floxed wild type exons allows expression of the mutant exon 5. This strain may be useful for studying the autosomal dominant disorder, DYT1 dystonia.

Molecular Note
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 5 followed by a FRT flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette, and a second loxP site downstream of exon 5 of the gene. A mutant exon 5, with a glutamic acid residue deletion, was inserted downstream of the neo cassette. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT flanked neo cassette.
