CC-1877 pf28 mt-

$30.00

From David Mitchell, April 1985

Phenotype: impaired motility

The pf28 mutant was isolated in Rosenbaum’s laboratory and was subsequently characterized by Kamiya and others. It is an allele at the ODA2 locus, which corresponds to the gene encoding the outer arm dynein gamma heavy chain. It swims slowly and is defective in backward swimming.
