This TRPV3 mutant allele harbors a deletion of Trpv3 exons 13 and 14, resulting in low levels of truncated TRPV3 transcript and strong deficits in responses to innocuous and noxious heat stimuli.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Trpv3 | transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 3 |
Homozygous (TRPV3-/-) mice are viable and fertile, with deletion of Trpv3 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 3) exons resulting in low levels of truncated TRPV3 transcript that does not encode the putative pore region or adjacent transmembrane domains five and six (essential domains of the ion channel). Homozygous mice lack functional TRPV3 with no abnormal affects on TRPV1/TRPV4 expression or overall dorsal root ganglia or skin anatomy. TRPV3-/- mice have strong deficits in responses to innocuous and noxious heat stimuli, but not in other sensory modalities, and retain a residual sensitivity to warm temperatures. Compared to wildtype mice, TRPV3-deficient mice are resistant to the anxiolytic-like and antidepressive-like behavioral effects (and concomitant changes in c-Fos activation in the brain) following treatment of the TRPV3 agonist, incensole acetate. Unlike wildtype keratinocytes, TRPV3-deficient keratinocytes are not activated by camphor (warmth sensation) or incensole acetate treatment. These TRPV3 mutant mice may be useful in studying the transient receptor potential family of ion channels in environmental temperature sensations in the skin (thermoTRPs), as well as TRPV3 channels in neurological emotional regulation.
A targeting vector was designed to replace a portion of exon 14 and 15 of the Trpv3 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 3) gene with a PGK-Neo cassette. The construct was electroporated into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-Kitl+-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts and chimeric males were bred with C57BL/6J females to establish the colony. The donating investigator reports that TRPV3-deficient mice were subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6J for ten generations prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) for at least one generation to establish the colony.

Chromosome | 11 |
General Note | Per a personal communication from the laboratory of Dr. Ardem Patapoutian, the gene was targeted in the R1 embryonic stem cell line, not in the CJ7 line as stated in the original reference for this mutation. |
Molecular Note | The exons encoding the putative pore region and adjacent transmembrane segments five and six were deleted by homologous recombination. RT-PCR of skin demonstrated that mutants lacked the wild-type protein. Presence of low levels of a truncated transcript was shown. |

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.
