Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(Pcp2-ATXN1*82Q*S776D)5Horr |
Strain of Origin | Not Specified | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The transgene consists of a mouse Pcp2 promoter driving the expression of a human ATXN1 (SCA1) cDNA with 82 CAG repeats and a serine to aspartic acid change at amino acid 776 (S776D). This is the high expressing line. The Pcp2 promoter targets transgene expression to Purkinje cells. Transgene expression was confirmed by Western blot analysis of cerebellar extracts. |
