Description
The genotypes of the animals provided may not reflect those discussed in the strain description or the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation. Please inquire for possible genotypes for this specific strain.
Strain Information
Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Dr. Thomas C. Sudhof, Stanford University School of Medicine Description
Mice homozygous for the Rab3atm1Sud targeted mutation are viable, fertile, and comparable in weight and health to normal wild type siblings. Most of their synaptic parameters are normal, although synaptic depression after repetitive stimulation is significantly increased, suggesting a role for Rab3a in synaptic vesicle docking. Mutant mice do not express Rab3a and levels of rabphilin (a protein that associates with the GTP-bound form of Rab3) are decreased by 70%. Expression of over 20 other synaptic proteins is unchanged.

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.Ordering Information
