molecularNote | The mouse Mecp2 coding sequence, a modified Kozak sequence and a neo-cassette were placed in-frame into exon 1 of Mapt via homologous combination. The resulting fusion protein contained the first 31 amino acids of Mapt fused to Mecp2 and was highly expressed in the brain (in post-mitotic neurons), lung, and kidney. |
