BAC-Alpha Synuclein 120*
Mouse Model
Mice conditionally express mutant human synuclein directed by the human SNCA promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene that produces a C-terminal truncated protein. Model was generated and deposited by X. William Yang at University of California Los Angles through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:028808
BAC-Alpha Synuclein*
Mouse Model
Mice conditionally express wild-type human synuclein directed by the human SNCA promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. Model was generated and deposited by X. William Yang at University of California Los Angles through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:028806
