Description

Vomernasal sensory neurons expressing Vmn1r206 are labeled with tau-YFP in this mutant strain.

Detailed description

Vmn1r206 (vomeronasal 1 receptor 206; also called V1Rh7) is a member of the vomeronasal organ V1R gene family, whose activation is believed to be involved with pheromone detection. Inputs from neurons expressing closely related V1Rs intermingle within shared, spatially conserved domains of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB).

Vomeronasal sensory neurons expressing Vmn1r206 are labeled with tau-YFP in this mutant strain.

Development

An ires-tau-YFP (ITYFP) cassette was placed immediately after the stop codon of Vmn1r206/V1Rh7 in BAC RP23-301O3. The modified BAC was linearized and injected into embryos. This strain was maintained on an unknown genetic background by the donating laboratory.

Allele specific assay does not determing hemizygous from homozygous.
