Strain Characteristics |
This transgenic strain contains human <i>ATXN3</i> (<i>MJD1</i>, polyQ repeat 64) gene fragment driven by rat <i>Eno2</i> (NSE: neuron specific enolase) promoter. Transgene ATXN3*64Q is the construct containing of C-terminal part and polyglutamine part of human <i>ATXN3</i>, but not of N-terminal part. Aggregation of ATXN3*64Q polygultamine leads to ataxia. Line 16 is more likely to develop ataxia than Line 29. (Jun 22, 2010) |
