Nomenclature: C57BL/6-Nfe2l2 ^{tm1.1 Mrl}

• The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6N Tac ES cell line.
• Nfe2l2 exon 1 contains the translation initiation codon.
• Exons 2 to 5 have been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region is 5.0 kb).
• A polyadenylation signal (hGHpA: human Growth Hormone polyadenylation signal) has been inserted 3' of the distal loxP site in order to stop transcription in the constitutive KO allele.
• The conditional KO allele has been generated after Flp-mediated removal of selection marker by crossing chimeras to a Flp-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
• The conditional KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Flp-transgene was removed by segregation.
• Deletion of exons 2 to 5 should result in loss of function of the Nfe2l2 gene by deleting most of the gene.
• The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
• The constitutive KO allele is available as line 13143.
• Datamining and Design performed in 2012.
