Detailed Description

This targeted mutant was created and characterized by Deltagen, Inc. View phenotypic data developed by Deltagen.

Development

The construct insert is reported to be "Lac0-SA-IRES-lacZ-Neo555G/Kan." Upon arrival, these mice had been backcrossed four generations to C57BL/6. During the importation process at The Jackson Laboratory, at least one additional backcross to C57BL/6J mice was performed. The resulting mice are backcrossed a total of at least five generations.

Expression Data

Expressed Gene	lacZ, beta-galactosidase, E. coli
Site of Expression	lacZ expression mimics endogenous gene expression and is detected in the brain, eyes and pituitary gland.

Control Suggestions

Wild-type from the colony

Genetics

Gpr6^tm1Dgen

Allele Symbol: Gpr6^tm1Dgen

Allele Name	targeted mutation 1, Deltagen
Allele Type	Targeted (Reporter, Null/Knockout)
Allele Synonym(s)
Gene Symbol and Name	Gpr6, G protein-coupled receptor 6
Gene Synonym(s)
Expressed Gene	lacZ, beta-galactosidase, E. coli
Site of Expression	lacZ expression mimics endogenous gene expression and is detected in the brain, eyes and pituitary gland.
Strain of Origin	129P2/OlaHsd
Chromosome	10
Molecular Note	A bacterial lacZ gene was inserted into the gene such that the endogenous gene promoter drives expression of beta-galactosidase. RT-PCR analysis detects a high level of gene transcript in the whole brain, cortex, subcortical region, pancreas, pituitary gland and adrenal gland, moderate levels in cerebellum, olfactory bulb, eye, heart, liver, thymus, lymph nodes, skin, salivary gland, large intestine and prostate gland and low levels in kidney, spleen, testis and seminal vesicle. Beta-galactosidase expression from this allele is detectable in brain, eyes and pituitary gland. Strong expression was detected in several regions of the brain, including the caudate putamen, cortex, thalamus and hippocampus. Moderate expression was detected in some cells in the inner nuclear layer of the retina. In the pituitary gland, moderate staining was observed in many cells of the pars intermedia.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms by Genotype

The following phenotype information is associated with a similar, but not exact match to this JAX^® Mice strain

Genotype: Gpr6^tm1Dgen/Gpr6^tm1Dgen
involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6

normal phenotype

no abnormal phenotype detected
- Normal - ical chemistry panels, densitometry or behavioral tests detected in the homozygous mutant mice when compared with age- and gender-matched wild-type control mice
- Normal - no significant differences in physical examinations, necropsy including body length, body weight, and organ weight measurements, histological examination of tissues and organs, bone marrow section evaluations, complete blood counts and differentials, clinical chemistry panels, densitometry or behavioral tests detected in the homozygous mutant mice when compared with age- and gender-matched wild-type control mice

The following phenotype relates to a compound genotype created using this strain

Genotype: Gpr6^tm1Dgen/Gpr6^tm1Dgen
B6.129P2-Gpr6

behavior/neurological phenotype

abnormal associative learning
- Normal - however, sensitivity to devaluation in instrumental conditioning remains normal and appetite motivated response to auditory cued conditioning is normal
- instrumental-conditioning is reduced compared to in wild-type mice that acquire the bar-pressing response to obtain food faster and reach higher asymptotic performance after more extensive training
- mice are more sensitive to devaluation than wild-type mice in an auditory cued conditioning experiment
- under a progressive ratio 5 schedule, mice respond at higher rates and earn more food reward than wild-type mice and in omission testing mice continue to press the level compared to wild-type mice that stop

nervous system phenotype

abnormal striatum morphology
- Normal - however, forskolin-induced camp production is normal
- plasma membrane extracts from the striatum contain 55% less cAMP that in wild-type mice

Payment Terms and Conditions

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
