Gene & Allele Information

 
Allele Symbol Oca2p-6H
Allele Name pink-eyed dilution 6 Harwell
Allele Type Radiation induced
Common Name(s) Herc2p-6H; p6H;
Strain of Origin(C3H/HeH x 101/H)F1
Gene Symbol and Name Oca2, oculocutaneous albinism II
Chromosome 7
Gene Common Name(s) BEY; BEY1; BEY2; BOCA; D15S12; D7H15S12; D7Icr28RN; D7Nic1; DNA segment, Chr 7, Institute for Cancer Research 28RN; DNA segment, Chr 7, Nicholls 1; DNA segment, Chr 7, human D15S12; EYCL; EYCL2; EYCL3; HCL3; P; PED; SHEP1; p; pink-eyed dilution;
General Note This mutation arose in descendants of x-ray treated mice (J:15082). Homozygotes resemble p/p mice in eye and coat color, but are small and show a nervous, jerky behavior (J:13720). No dental abnormalities are found. Males are sterile, with a high proportion of abnormal sperm (multinucleated, multitailed, and acrosomal defects) and a reduced proportion of gonadotropic cells in the pituitary (J:49046, J:5219, J:5808). The sperm shows a loss of negative charge along the whole length of the tail (defined by the inability to stain with the positively charged colloidal iron hydroxide), suggesting that the defect in spermatogenesis may involve the Golgi apparatus and/or plasma membrane (J:11957). Females have greatly reduced fertility, with an increased proportion of polyovular follicles and no corpora lutea (J:5501). Mutant females can generally produce a small, first litter, but the pups often die neonatally due to poor maternal behavior, which may involve improper nesting (J:49046).
Molecular Note Southern hybridization of a 0.39 kb probe, derived from retroviral-like intracisternal particle sequence, to genomic DNA showed that p-region sequence is deleted in homozygous mutant mice. The first 624 amino acids are encoded in the neighboring predicted Herc2 protein, but are then followed by 27 novel amino acids and a premature termination site from an IAP element. The remaining carboxy terminal 4212 amino acids of the Herc2 protein are lost. [MGI Ref ID J:100221] [MGI Ref ID J:11138]
 
Allele Symbol Oca2p-d
Allele Name dark pink eye
Allele Type Radiation induced
Common Name(s) pd;
Gene Symbol and Name Oca2, oculocutaneous albinism II
Chromosome 7
Gene Common Name(s) BEY; BEY1; BEY2; BOCA; D15S12; D7H15S12; D7Icr28RN; D7Nic1; DNA segment, Chr 7, Institute for Cancer Research 28RN; DNA segment, Chr 7, Nicholls 1; DNA segment, Chr 7, human D15S12; EYCL; EYCL2; EYCL3; HCL3; P; PED; SHEP1; p; pink-eyed dilution;
General Note pd, dark pink eye, recessive. This mutation was probably induced by X-rays. Eyes of homozygotes are slightly pigmented at birth and darken in the next few days; the coat is only slightly diluted. Eyes of pd/p are colorless at birth but darken during the next 2 weeks; the coat is diluted but darker than that of p/p (J:15050). Eyes of pd/pbs are dark at birth; the coat is slightly lighter and the ears slightly darker than those of homozygous pd (J:15082). Female fertility is reduced; males are sterile (J:2108).

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.
