Park6 (Pink1) Knockout Rat
Model Detail >
Blue Fade Line
Park6 (Pink1) Knockout Rat
Nomenclature: LEH- Pink1 tm1sage
Genotype: Homozygous
Product number: TGRL4690
Description

Developed in collaboration with the Michael J Fox Foundation, this model contains a deletion of the Pink1 (PTEN-induced putative kinase 1) gene, encoding for a serine/threonine protein kinase. Mutations in Pink1 are implicated in early-onset Parkinson's disease.

Additional Information

This model is being developed in partner with the Michael J. Fox Foundation as part of our Parkinson's disease research suite. Pink1 protein kinase localizes to the mitochondria and is thought to protect cells from stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Mutations within this gene result in one form of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's.

Characteristics
