WebbSHANK family proteins (SHANK1, SHANK2, & SHANK3) have emerged as promising candidates for modeling ASD in mice due to strong genetic evidence showing reproducible genetic mutations of SHANK family genes in ~2% of patients with ASD. We have generated and characterized both isoform specific and complete Shank2 and Shank3 mutant mice. Webb19 mars 2015 · Specifically, the mouse Shank3 gene contains a total of 22 exons, that together encode a full-length protein of 1730 amino acids (aa). Alternative translational start/stop and splicing insertion/deletion sites are predicted to produce a total of 10 splice variants of the Shank3 protein ( Wang et al., 2014b ).

Webb11 apr. 2024 · Mice missing part of the Shank3 gene also had difficulty falling asleep, even after they have been deprived of sleep. Mice naturally have a daily pattern of sleep and activity. This 24-hour activity cycle is maintained by an internal circadian clock. In mice missing part of Shank3, the circadian clock genes are not turned on correctly. Webb1 aug. 2024 · Disruption of the SHANK3-encoding gene has been strongly implicated as a monogenic cause of autism, and Shank3 mutant mice show repetitive grooming and social interaction deficits. the las vegas raiders wallpaper

Webb6 jan. 2016 · Shank3 is a very complex gene at the transcript level because of multiple intragenic promotors and alternative splicing (Wang et al., 2011b, Wang et al., 2014b).Both InsG3680 and R1117X mutations are in exon 21, which is common to most if not all isoforms, and the two mutations were separated by only 325 nucleotides (Figure 1 A).For … thyroid mass in dogs
