Alleles and phenotypes

All alleles(6) : Targeted(6)
 

Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display resistance to the effects of MPTP on dopamine levels. Mice expressing a knock-in allele exhibit impaired coordination, long stride length, abnromal response to reserpine and reduced brain dopamine levels.
