ATP13A2 Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against mouse ATP13A2 for immunoblotting, immunostaining, and immunoprecipitation applications.
Estimated Availability: Early 2026
Floxed S69R Rab32 Mouse
Mouse Model
Mouse expressing the S69R point mutation in the mouse Rab32 gene (corresponds to the S71R mutation in human Rab32). LoxP sites flank the Rab32 gene to enable conditional Cre-mediated knockout.
Estimated Availability: Early 2026
