1 MsrA knockout mouse exhibits abnormal behavior and brain dopamine levels. Dopamine methionine sulfoxide reductase A Mus musculus
2 Surprisingly, relative to wild-type mice, MsrA(-/-) brains contained significantly higher levels of dopamine up to 12 months of age, while lower levels of dopamine were observed at 16 months of age. Dopamine methionine sulfoxide reductase A Mus musculus
3 Moreover, striatal regions of MsrA(-/-) mice showed an increase of dopamine release parallel to observed dopamine levels. Dopamine methionine sulfoxide reductase A Mus musculus
4 Moreover, striatal regions of MsrA(-/-) mice showed an increase of dopamine release parallel to observed dopamine levels. Dopamine methionine sulfoxide reductase A Mus musculus
5 Thus, it is suggested that dopamine regulation and signaling pathways are impaired in MsrA(-/-) mice, which may contribute to their abnormal behavior. Dopamine methionine sulfoxide reductase A Mus musculus
