Patent

CA 2469992

The present invention provides vector constructs and methods for producing non- human transgenic animals comprising within their genome a conditional targeted mutation within the glyt1 gene which animals could be further used to generate transgenic animals which produce less or no active GLYT2 protein. Moreover, said transgenic animals producing less or no active GLYT1 protein, as well as methods of producing them, are also provided. The invention also relates to the use of these animals as a tool for assessing GLYT1 function and as a model for studying the effects of enhancing synaptic NMDA receptor function and for studying the susceptibility to compounds inducing psychotic behavior, and to methods for evaluating the in vivo effects of GLYT1 function and testing GLYT1 inhibitors for effects other than GLYT1- specific effects.
