The polyQ region of the endogenous VAChT gene has been deleted. A loxP cassette containing a Disc\RFPDsRed(T1).3xP3.cHa marker has been inserted into the genome as part of the mutagenesis procedure.

VAChTΔQ homozygous late stage embryonic aCC/RP2 motoneurons exhibit significantly increased duration and reduced frequency of endogenous spontaneous rhythmic currents (SRCs) when compared to controls.
