Generation of the MGI:4999561 (VAChT FloxNeo allele), MGI:4367608 (VAChT Del allele) and Slc18a3^tm1.2Vpra (VAChT Flox allele) alleles. a) Boxes represent the different exons of ChAT (Chat) or VAChT (Slc18a3). The position of the initiation codon (ATG) for VAChT and ChAT and the stop codon (Stop) of VAChT are indicated. Potential transcription initiation sites are indicated for VAChT (green arrowheads) and ChAT (orange arrowheads). Note that the VAChT gene is within the first intron of ChAT. b) Different VAChT alleles generated. P1, P2, P3 and P4 indicate the primers used for PCR genotyping and the fragment sizes generated. LoxP sequence, some restriction enzymatic sites and probe annealing are represented.
