phenotypes
All alleles(5) : Targeted, knock-out(1) Targeted, other(3) Spontaneous(1)
Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit background-sensitive perinatal lethality associated with respiratory distress, altered C4 ventral root and pre-inspiratory neuron signaling, and abnormal response to hypercapnia.
