Ubiquitinated-K266 VDAC1 Antibody
Monoclonal antibody directed against ubiquitinated-K266 VDAC1. Please note: The antibody will not be made available as QC/QA of the antibody showed a lack of adequate sensitivity. Email tools@michaeljfox.org with questions or for more information.
-
Rab 29 Overexpression Mouse
C57BL/6NTac mice constitutively over-expressing the wild type mouse Rab29 gene directed by the PGK promoter inserted via targeted mutagenesis in the ROSA26 locus.
-
LRRK2 Antibody (MJFF5)
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against wild-type LRRK2. The antibody was mapped to the LRR domain of LRRK2 (AA 1035-1239).
-
