Available Strain Details

 
Order Form for Cryoarchived Strains  
   
Strain Number: 01XBC 
Common Strain Name: N-ras null, Nras KO 
Strain Nomenclature: B6;129P2-Nrastm1Rak 
 
Release Category (Required for MTA form): B
Sample MTA for this strain
   
       
Strain Description: This strain carries a null mutation in N-ras, one of three highly homologous and widely expressed members of the ras family. Mice homozygous for this mutation develop normally (Umanoff et al., 1995). When combined with K-ras heterozygosity, mice exhibit abnormal hematopoietic development and die between days 10 and 12 of embryogenesis (Johnson et al., 1997).
