Alpha-Synuclein 1-122 Truncation Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody specific for human/mouse alpha-synuclein truncated at the 122 residue. The antibody is compatible with slot blot and ELISA applications.
Alpha-Synuclein N Terminal Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against the N-terminal of human/mouse alpha-synuclein. Epitope has been mapped to amino acids 12-17 and 46-50 (due to sequence homology). Suitable for use in immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and immunoassay.
Floxed Parkin Mouse*
Mouse Model
Mice with loxP sites flanking Parkin exon 4 for conditional knockout using Cre-expressing viral vectors. Model was generated and deposited by Dr Ted Dawson at Johns Hopkins University through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program.
INPP5F pS940 Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal phosphospecific antibody directed against Serine 940 of INPP5F.
Estimated Availability: Late 2025
LRRK1/2 Double KO Mouse
Mouse Model
Double knockout of LRRK1 and LRRK2 created by deletion of exons 39-40 of the LRRK2 gene and exons 24-29 of the LRRK1 gene in the C57BL/6N mouse strain. RRID:IMSR_JAX:016122
Rab 12 Antibody (WB)
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human/mouse Rab 12. Suitable for use in western blotting.
Human GCase Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human GCase for immunostaining applications. Antibody generation failed.
Mouse GCase Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against mouse GCase for immunostaining applications. Antibody development failed.
pS65 Ubiquitin Immunoassay*
Assay
SMCxPRO® immunoassay for measurement of phospho-serine 65 Ubiquitin. Assay was developed and kindly shared by Mitokinin through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program.
