Mouse Model
Mice with the K161N mutation in Parkin. Model was generated and deposited by Dr David Komander at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program.
Estimated Availability: Late 2024
Parkin R275W KI Mouse*
Mouse Model
Mice with the R275W mutation in Parkin. Model was generated and deposited by Dr David Komander at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program.

Total Rab 10 Antibody
Antibody
Mouse anti-Rab10 antibody that has undergone Fc species switching to develop mouse reagents from the original rabbit antibody (MJF-R23). The new chimeric antibody is approved for immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, and immunoprecipitation and can be detected using Fc-specific secondary antibodies to mouse IgG.
Mouse/Human pS129 Alpha-Synuclein Assay
Assay
AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ immunoassay kit for detection of Human and Mouse alpha-synuclein phosphorylated at S129 (pS129 aSyn).
Mouse/Human Total Alpha-Synuclein Assay
Assay
AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ultra™ immunoassay kit for detection of Human and Mouse total alpha-synuclein.
Rab 10 pT73 Phosphospecific Antibody
Antibody
Mouse anti-pT73 Rab10 antibody that has undergone Fc species switching to develop mouse reagents from the original rabbit antibody (MJF-R21). The new chimeric antibody is approved for immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry and can be detected using Fc-specific secondary antibodies to mouse IgG.
Rab 10 pT73 Phosphospecific Antibody
Antibody
Mouse anti-pT73 Rab10 antibody that has undergone Fc species switching to develop mouse reagents from the original rabbit antibody (MJF-R21-22-5). The new chimeric antibody is approved for immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry and can be detected using Fc-specific secondary antibodies to mouse IgG.
Rab 12 pS106 Phosphospecific Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human/mouse Rab12 phospho-S106 for immunoprecipitation and immunostaining applications.
Estimated Availability: Early 2025
