Abstract: The genome of the non-human mutant mammal, deficient in an endogenous Sigma receptor,
contains a mutation that comprises a disruption in an endogenous Sigma receptor gene,
wherein said gene disruption gives rise to a mutant lacking detectable levels of endogenous
Sigma receptor. The mutant may be used as a control animal for  in vivo  tests, as well as a
source of cells that can be used in  in vitro  tests. Mutants deficient in the Sigma-1 receptor
can be used as models for  in vivo  study of disorders of the central nervous system, memory
alterations, stress conditions and drug addictions, analgesia processes and neuroprotection.
Mutants deficient in the Sigma-2 receptor can be used to study diagnostic or therapeutic
tools to fight cancer and/or degenerative processes and/or to design compounds capable of
preventing, reducing or alleviating the secondary pathology associated with administration
of neuroleptic agents.
