    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mutations in the Trpml3 (Mcoln3) gene cause the varitint-waddler mouse phenotypes, exhibiting a spectrum of disease phenotypes from diluted coat color to auditory and vestibular problems
  • neonatal enterocytes of mice lacking both mucolipins (Trpml3-/-;Trpml1-/-) vacuolated pathologically within hours of birth and remained so until weaning
