Miro1 Antibody (WB)
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human/mouse/rat Miro1, validated for use as a detector antibody in immunoblotting applications.
Mouse GCase Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against mouse GCase for immunostaining applications. Antibody development failed.
BAC-Alpha Synuclein 120*
Mouse Model
Mice conditionally express mutant human synuclein directed by the human SNCA promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene that produces a C-terminal truncated protein. Model was generated and deposited by X. William Yang at University of California Los Angles through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:028808
BAC-Alpha Synuclein*
Mouse Model
Mice conditionally express wild-type human synuclein directed by the human SNCA promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. Model was generated and deposited by X. William Yang at University of California Los Angles through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:028806
Parkin/PINK1 Double KO Rat
Rat Model
Breeding of the CRISPR Parkin KO Sprague Dawley rat with the CRISPR PINK1 KO Sprague Dawley rat to create a line with homozygous deletion of both genes.
Estimated Availability: Mid 2026
