Brain tissue expression of CARTPT - Mouse brain

MOUSE BRAIN TISSUE

Gene description	CART prepropeptide
Mouse gene	ENSMUSG00000021647 (version 10)
Annotation summary	Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript prepropeptide (CARTPT) is a neuropeptide that is highly concentrated in parts of the hypothalamus and basal ganglia in both human and mouse brain. In the mouse, strong intensity immunostaining of dense axonal networks and strong intensity but sparse cell bodies are noticed in the olfactory bulb external plexiform layer, nucleus accumbens shell, medial and lateral septum, amygdala nuclei, BNST and anterior hypothalamus. The number of immunostained cell bodies is high in the perifornical region of the tuberal hypothalamus and in the oculomotor nucleus in the midbrain. In addition, strong intensity immunostaining of dense axonal networks (without cell bodies) are noticed in the dorsal and median raphe, the periaqueductal gray matter, locus coeruleus-parabrachial region, and the solitary, ambiguus, hypoglossal and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus.
