Endothelial nitric oxide synthase localized to hippocampal pyramidal cells: implications for synaptic plasticity.

abstract：:Mutant alleles at the dilute unconventional myosin heavy chain locus cause diluted coat color, opisthotonic seizures, and death. The dilute coat color phenotype is caused by irregular clumping of pigment in the hair, but amounts of melanin are unchanged from wild-type controls. The melanocyte phenotype has been descri...
