Strain: Gunn-Ugt1a1j/BluHsd

Symbol: Gunn-Ugt1a1j/BluHsd
Strain: Gunn-Ugt1a1j
Substrain: BluHsd
Full Name: Gunn rat
RGD ID: 1357186
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_1357186
Ontology ID: RS:0001319
Alleles: Ugt1a1j
Previously known as: Gunn-Ugt1a1j; Gunn-Ugt1a1j/BluHsd
Type: mutant
Source: Harlan
Origin: This mutation was first observed in normal Wistar albino rats in a breeding colony at Cannaught Laboratories in 1934. Jaundice was evident at birth or shortly after and was persistant throughout life.
Genetic Status: Homozygous
