B6.Cg-Shank3tm1.2Bux/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250370

Common Name: Shank3- (Shank3Δ ex4-9)
The Shank3Δ ex4-9 allele has a deletion of the ankyrin repeat domains (exons 4-9) of the Shank3 gene; this deletion prevents full-length Shank3 expression. As Shank3 is necessary for forming functional glutamatergic synapses between receptors and cytoskeletal/scaffolding elements, these mice may be useful for studying synaptic glutamate receptor development/function, transmission and plasticity, as well as Shank3 haploinsufficiency, neurobehavioral manifestations of 22q13 deletion syndrome and/or autism spectrum disorders.

Molecular Note
A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 4 and an FRT flanked neo cassette and second loxP site were inserted downstream of exon 9 via homologous recombination. Flp mediated recombination removed the neo cassette. Cre mediated recombination removed exons 4 - 9. Quantitative PCR and immunoblot analysis confirmed the absence of mRNA and protein expression in homozygous mice.

Breeding Considerations
Heterozygous males display less social sniffing and emit fewer ultrasonic vocalizations during interactions with estrus female mice. Therefore when maintaining a live colony, heterozygous females may be bred with wildtype males from the colony or with C57BL/6J inbred males.
