Primary Identifier | MGI:3768407 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Prnp-MAPT*P301S)PS19Vle |
Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x C3H)F1 | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The transgene construct contains the P301S mutant human microtubule-associated protein tau, MAPT, under the direction of the mouse prion protein, Prnp, promoter. The expression of the mutant human MAPT is 5-fold higher than the expression of the endogenous mouse Mapt protein. Transgene insertion occurred on Chr 3, causing a 249 Kb deletion. |
