Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Adenylate cyclase 3 (Adcy3) has been linked to both obesity and major depressive disorder. We identified a protein-coding variant in the transmembrane (TM) helix of Adcy3 in rats; similar obesity variants have been identified in humans. This study investigates the role of a TM variant in adiposity and behavior. METHODS: We mutated the TM domain of Adcy3 (Adcy3mut/mut) and created a heterozygous...
