Imprecise excision of Mi{ET1}5-HT1BMB05181 removing a 1344bp fragment from genomic DNA; exons encoding transmembrane segments III-V are deleted.
1344 bp deletion in 5-HT1B resulting from the imprecise excision of Mi{ET1}5-HT1BMB05181. The endpoints were determined from the reported boundary genomic sequences.
Similar to wild type, 5-HT1BΔIII-V larvae are sensitive to 100μM metitepine and show decreased feeding rates when fed with this drug.
