Assay
Reference: J:290119 Soleilhavoup C, et al., Nolz1 expression is required in dopaminergic axon guidance and striatal innervation. Nat Commun. 2020 Jun 19;11(1):3111
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:8270717
Gene symbol: Th
Gene name: tyrosine hydroxylase
Antibody: anti-TH (rabbit; P40101-150)
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to Alexa Fluor 488
Assay notes: Nolz1-/- mutant embryos, in which the coding region of Nolz1 has been replaced by beta-Galactosidase (also referred to as Nolz1<bgal/bgal>). Zfp503<tm1.1Bpb> (neo cassette removed) has been used in the annotations, but it could be Zfp503<tm1Bpb> (neo cassette still present). Two Th antibodies were listed MGI:6159135 and MGI:4460872; the one used in this assay was not specified.

Note: Double labeled: green - Th; red - Casp3 (assay MGI:8270720).
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: brain Present Regionally restricted S2d Nolz1-/- bottom , S2d Nolz1-/- top Dopaminergic axons are misguided in Nolz1-/- mutant embryos, a large proportion of immunolabelled axons cross the midline in the hypothalamus and terminate rostral of the striatum in the mutant embryos.
