Park7 Knockout Rat
Nomenclature: SD- Park7 tm1sage
Genotype: Homozygous
Product number: In Development
List pricing: TBD
Description - This model will contain a bi-allelic deletion within the Park7 (Parkinson disease [autosomal recessive, early onset] 7) gene, synonym DJ-1, encoding for the protein Park7 that belongs to the peptidase C56 family of proteins.
Additional Information
In humans, loss of function of Park7 leads to a form of early-onset Parkinson's disease. This occurs due to the role Park7 plays in protecting neurons from oxidative stress and cell death, making this an ideal model for the study of Parkinson's disease.
Research Applications

Parkinson's disease
Dopaminergic cell stress
