Abstract excerpt
The oscillator mouse (Glra1(spd-ot)) carries a 9 bp microdeletion plus a 2 bp microinsertion in the glycine receptor alpha1 subunit gene, resulting in the absence of functional alpha1 polypeptides from the CNS and lethality 3 weeks after birth. Depending on differential use of two splice acceptor sites in exon 9 of the Glra1 gene, the mutant allele encodes either a truncated alpha1 subunit (spd(ot)-trc) or a...
