The gene was disrupted by replacement of exons encoding transmembrane domains 4 and 5, part of a putative channel pore, and a conserved sequence motif (EWKFAR), with a floxed PGK-neo cassette via homologous recombination. Absence of gene expression in homozygous mutant animals was confirmed by Western blot analysis of vomeronasal organ extracts. (J:74988)
