Gene Affected Sv2a : synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2a
Origin Established by ENU mutagenesis (gene-driven). This strain has misssense mutation (L174Q)in Sv2a gene.
Strain characteristics Sv2aL174Q(F344-Sv2am1Kyo) is a novel rat model carrying the missense mutation (L174Q) in the Sv2a gene encoding the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A. Sv2aL174Q rats show normal appearance and grow well, however, they are sensitive to seizure induction by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ, GABAA antagonist). Sv2aL174Q rats are also very susceptible to the kindling development induced by repeated treatment with PTZ or electrical stimulation of the amygdala. Neurochemical studies reveal that depolarization-evoked synaptic GABA release is impaired in the hippocampus and amygdala of Sv2aL174Q rats.
Breeding Conditions Good breeding performance
