Oxidized-DJ-1-Specific Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal phosphospecific antibody directed against oxidized DJ-1 protein.
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.
HdAd5 3xFLAG-LRRK2 (wild-type)
Viral Vector
Helper-dependent Adenovirus 5 viral vector with human synapsin promoter driving the expression of 3XFLAG-tagged WT LRRK2. HdAd5 FLAG-TK available as a control in Control section.
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 A2016T Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice expressing the A2016T mutant (kinase inhibitor resistant) form of LRRK2. RRID:IMSR_JAX:021828
LRRK2 D1994A/R1441G Mouse
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice overexpressing both a mutant form D1994A and R1441G of human LRRK2 directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene.
Please note: Although founders were positively identified through genotyping and exhibited robust mRNA expression, these projects were halted due to a lack of any appreciable protein expression.
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
LRRK2 KO Rat*
Rat Model
Homozygous rat knockout of LRRK2 created by 10 base pair deletion in Exon 30 in the Long Evans Hooded rat stain.
Alpha-Synuclein KO Mouse
Mouse Model
Homozygous knockout of alpha-synuclein created by deletion of SNCA exons 1-4 in the C57BL/6N mouse strain. RRID:IMSR_JAX:016123
