BGS 644, NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 8 (molybdenum cofactor), nar8
Stock number: BGS 644
Locus name: NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 8 (molybdenum cofactor)
Locus symbol: nar8
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Location in chromosome 6HS (1); nar8.z is close to molecular maker ABG378 in 6H bin 01 (1).
Description:
The nar8 mutant is characterized by a pleiotropic loss of nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase activity (3). The homozygote is not viable and mutant must be maintained as a heterozygote (2).
