  Disc1

  (MGI:2447658)

• Mutation details: The transgene construct was designed with the myc peptide tagged mutant human DISC1 (disrupted in schizophrenia 1) gene, under the control of tetracycline operator (tetO; also called tetracycline-responsive element (TRE) or tet-operator) sequence and a cytomegalovirus minimal promoter. Founder line 1001, which showed strong expression, was established. A second line, line 70, shows a weak expression of human DISC1. (J:146881)
