Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
SG1 nrx-1(ds1) V. Homozygous viable and fertile. No gross behavioral abnormalities. Reduction of thrashing rate and expulsions during defecation cycle. Changed sensitivity to compounds. Increased sensitivity to aldicarb and levamisole in paralysis tests. Reduced sensitivity during egg laying to levamisole, 5-hydrosxytryptamine, and imipramine. Morphological defects in neurite fasciculation, neurite branching, and synapse formation. 1.5bk deletion at the 5' end of the mRNA.
TV13570 unc-119(ed3) III; nrx-1(wy778[unc-119(+)]) V. wy778 is a large deletion in the nrx-1 locus that removes the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains shared by all NRX-1 isoforms and deletes the short isoform entirely. Reference: Maro GS, et al. Neuron. 2015 Jun 17;86(6):1420-32.
