Allele

Symbol: Slc18a1^tm1Dgen
Name: targeted mutation 1, Deltagen
MGI accession ID: MGI:3663332
Generation method: Targeted
Attributes: Reporter; Null/Knockout
Marker symbol: Slc18a1
Marker name: solute carrier family 18 (vesicular monoamine), member 1
Marker synonyms: 4832416I10Rik; CGAT; MGC:28683; MGC:37299; VAT1; VMAT1; VMAT-1
Chromosome: 8
Strain of origin: 129P2/OlaHsd
Expressed genes: lacZ,beta-galactosidase,E. coli
Site of expression: Most lacZ striking expression was detected in adrenal medalla. lacZ expression was also observed in renal cortex, a few spermatogenic cells in the testis, epithelium in the prostate gland and in neural ganglia associated with urinary bladder, prostate gland and cervix.
Molecular note: A LacZ-neomycin cassette was inserted into the gene so that the endogenous gene promoter drives expression of beta-galactosidase. Gene expression analysis confirmed the absence of expression in frontal cortex, striatum, hippocampus and adrenal gland. LacZ expression was detected in kidney, urinary bladder, adrenal glands, testis, prostate gland, and cervix.
