Deletion of most of the Amt coding sequence, including 8 of the 11 transmembrane domains. 409bp of coding sequence remains at the 5' end and 233bp at the 3' end.
Deletion of most of the Amt coding sequences. The deletion is reported as leaving behind 409 bases of 5' coding sequences and 233 bases at the 3' end.
Amt2 homozygous mutant adults do not show a significant difference in taste perception response to an ammonia tastant, as shown by no significance difference in electrophysiological responses in S, L and I sensilla, no significance difference in preference index in an aversive taste assay, and no significance difference in feeding time in pharyngeal pumping assays, as compared to controls.
