| molecularNote | The gene was disrupted by replacment of the region of exon 3 encoding the aspartic acid region of the catalytic site with a lacZ-neo cassette. The targeting construct introduces stop codons in all 3 reading frames. Northern blot analysis of brain RNA verified the absence of gene expression in homozygous mutant animals. X-gal staining of mutant brains did not detect any lacZ expression. |
