| Allele Symbol | Aw | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | white bellied agouti | ||
| Gene Symbol and Name | a, nonagouti | ||
| Chromosome | 2 | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | AGSW; AGTI; AGTIL; ASP; As; MGC126092; MGC126093; SHEP9; agouti; agouti signal protein; agouti suppressor; | ||
| General Note | The Aw allele produces a phenotype like A except that the belly is white or cream. Aw is dominant to A and to all alleles with lower case symbols. Since mutations to this allele are common, the Aw alleles found in many laboratory stocks may not be of common origin. | ||
| Molecular Note | The mutation is a 0.6 kB insertion in the first intron consisting of a single LTR of a VL30 family retrovirus-like transposable element. This results in the expression of alternatively spliced transcripts that are not present in the wild-type allele. [MGI Ref ID J:16984] | ||
| Gene Symbol and Name | H13, histocompatibility 13 | ||
| Chromosome | 2 | ||
| Gene Common Name(s) | 1200006O09Rik; 4930443L17Rik; 5031424B04Rik; AV020344; H-13; IMP1; IMPAS; MSTP086; PSENL3; PSL3; RIKEN cDNA 1200006O09 gene; RIKEN cDNA 4930443L17 gene; RIKEN cDNA 5031424B04 gene; SPP; dJ324O17.1; expressed sequence AV020344; | ||
