Gene Affected
Scn1a: sodium channel, voltage-gated, type I, alpha
Origin
This strain was established by ENU mutagenesis (gene-driven). This strain possesses a point mutation in the Scn1a gene (E539A) (Mashimo, 2010). (Jun 4, 2010)
Strain characteristics
A point mutation in Scn1a gene. Please refer to F344-Scn1am2Kyo (NBRP No.0455). (Jun 4, 2010)
Breeding Conditions
Good breeding performance.
