GABAA-R Alpha 4 KO Mice

Description

Mice homozygous for this GABAA-R alpha4F allele are viable and fertile. These mutant mice have loxP sites flanking exon 3 of the targeted gene. When bred to Cre-recombinase expressing mice, offspring will have a deletion of exon 3 in the cre expressing tissue(s). These "floxed" mice may be useful in neurological studies including behavior and neurotransmitter function.
