The allele carries a 10-bp deletion at the start of exon 17 of ATP8B, which removes the splice acceptor. This lesion is predicted to result in skipping exon 17 and producing a frameshift mutation and premature termination.
Approximate site of 10 bp deletion. It was reported as a 10 bp deletion at the beginning of exon 17 that removes the splice acceptor site and causes exon 17 to be skipped.
The mutant is unresponsive to 1% cVA (11-cis-vaccenyl acetate) and also lacks normal spontaneous action potentials in the absence of cVA. Approximately half of the Or67d-neurons from this line are insensitive to all concentrations of cVA.
