Animal Model B6.129P2-Ncam1tm1Cgn/J
Abstract
Mice homozygous for the Ncam1tm1Cgn targeted mutation show a 10% reduction in overall brain weight and 36% reduction in olfactory bulb size. Motor end plates were 14% smaller in NCAM-deficient mice compared to controls, and the formation of junctional folds was delayed. They also show deficits in spatial learning and in the amount of protein-bound alpha-(2,8)-linked polysialic acid. Both homozygous and heterozygous mutant mice are reportedly more aggressive than wildtype controls.
