LRRK2 Wild-type Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice express a wild-type human LRRK2 gene directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. The human LRRK2 protein expression is approximately 5-fold over endogenous mouse LRRK2. RRID:IMSR_JAX:013725
LRRK2 pS955 Phosphospecific Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal phosphospecific antibody directed against Serine 955 of LRRK2.
LRRK2 G2019S Mouse
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice overexpressing a mutant form (G2019S) of human LRRK2 directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. RRID:IMSR_JAX:018785
LRRK2 R1441G Mouse
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice overexpressing a mutant form (R1441G) of human LRRK2 directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. RRID:IMSR_JAX:018786
Thy-1 Wild Type Human Alpha-Synuclein Mouse (Line 15)
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice expressing wild type human alpha-synuclein directed by the murine Thy-1 promoter. Two separate founder lines with different expression levels are available. RRID:IMSR_JAX:017682
Wild Type Human Alpha-Synuclein Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice express a wild-type human alpha-synuclein gene directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. RRID:IMSR_JAX:018442
LRRK2 KO Mouse
Mouse Model
Knockout of LRRK2 created by deletion of exons 39-40 of the LRRK2 gene in the C57BL/6N mouse strain. RRID:IMSR_JAX:016121
LRRK2 Plasmids
DNA Plasmids
DNA Plasmids encoding various LRRK2 cDNA inserts
LRRK2 T1348N Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice expressing the T1348N mutant (GTPase-dead) form of LRRK2. RRID:IMSR_JAX:021829
VPS35 D620N Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice expressing the D620N mutant form of VPS35. RRID:IMSR_JAX:023409
