BGS 642, NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 6 (molybdenum cofactor), nar6
Stock number: BGS 642
Locus name: NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 6 (molybdenum cofactor)
Locus symbol: nar6
Previous nomenclature and gene symbolization:
None.
Inheritance:
Monofactorial recessive (3).
Location in chromosome 2HL (1), nar6.v is co-segregating with nar4 (NADH nitrate reductase-deficient 4 (molybdenum cofactor) and Gln2 (Glutamine synthetase 2) in 2H bin 13 (1).
Description:
The nar6 mutant is characterized by a pleiotropic loss of nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase activity (3). Homozygotes are not viable and the nar6 gene must be maintained as a heterozygote (2).
