CC-1038 pf20 mt+

$30.00

From David Luck, Rockefeller University, 1980

Phenotype: impaired motility

Luck’s stock of this mutant was obtained from Chua who got it from Levine. This stock is Luck’s derivative pf20.3C+.

The PF20 locus encodes a WD-repeat containing protein of the central pair of the flagella, which associates with the intermicrotubule bridge. Homologs have been characterized in mammalian cells.
