Umami Taste Responses Are Mediated by α-Transducin and α-Gustducin (2004, methodology): “The design and production of -gustducin and t-rod KO mice have been described (Wong et al., 1996; Calvert et al., 2000).”
Melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion-cell photoreceptors: cellular diversity and role in pattern vision (2010, background): “Gnat1 / is a rod transducin knockout line that eliminates rod phototransduction (Calvert et al., 2000), whereas the Cnga3 / line eliminates the cone cyclic nucleotide gated channel causing the absence of cone phototransduction (Biel et al., 1999).”
Melanopsin and rod–cone photoreceptive systems account for all major accessory visual functions in mice (2003, background): “Notably, the silencing of rod–cone functions in this case was achieved not by inducing degeneration of these cells (as occurs in rd/rd cl mice) but by combining targeted deletions of the genes for rod Gnat1 (ref”
