B6;129-Nrxn3tm4.1Sud/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250306

Common Name: NS4
These NS4 mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exon 20 (alternative splice site 4) of the neurexin III (Nrxn3) gene, and a mutated exon 20 splice acceptor sequence. This strain may be useful for studying neuronal synapses related to alcoholism, dependence, and addiction behaviors.

Molecular Note
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 20 (alternative splice site 4) followed by a FRT flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette, and a second loxP site downstream of exon 20. The less common splice acceptor sequence of exon 20 (TGTTTTTTAAACTTTAAAG) was substituted with a much more common one (TGTTTTTTCGTCTTCCTAG) to make the exon always incorporated in the transcript.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, homozygous or heterozygous mice may be bred together. The donating investigator reports 30% of animals don't produce offspring.
