We created Aldh2 inactive transgenic mouse. The mice are backcrossed to C57BL6/J strain more than 15 generations (until 2006).

Allele Symbol: Aldh2 tm1Kaw

Allele Name: targeted mutation 1, Toshihiro Kawamoto

Gene Symbol: Aldh2

Gene Name: aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, mitochondrial

MGI Accession ID: MGI:2157245

Original Reference: J:63498

Type: Transgene induced (gene targeted)

Strain of Origin: 129P2/OlaHsd

Allele Definition:

Mutation(s): Disruption caused by insertion of vector

ES cell Line: E14

ES Cell Line Strain: 129P2/OlaHsd

Notes: A termination codon and a neomycin selection cassette was inserted into exon 3. Western blot analysis on liver mitochondrial fractions derived from homozygous mice confirmed that the protein was not expressed at detectable levels.
