ATP13A2 Knockout Mouse*
Mouse Model
Mice carrying a Atp13a2 mutation resulting in disruption of exons 12 through 15 and a portion of exon 16. Model was generated and deposited by Patrick Schultheis at Northern Kentucky University through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program (available through cryorecovery). RRID:IMSR_JAX:021914
GBA E326K Knockin Mouse*
Mouse Model
Mouse expressing GBA E326K mutation and 3 silent mutations in exon 8 of the mouse Gba gene. Model was generated and deposited by Mark Cookson at NIH through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program. RRID:IMSR_JAX:036159
TMEM192 Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human/mouse TMEM192 for immunoprecipitation of endogenous lysosomes.
Estimated Availability: Late 2025
TMEM115 Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human/mouse TMEM115 for immunoprecipitation of endogenous golgi.
Estimated Availability: Mid 2026
TOMM20 Ubiquitinated at K56/61 Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against the K56/61-ubiquitinated TOMM20.
Estimated Availability: Late 2025
Human Parkin Mouse*
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice expressing wild type human Parkin under the direction of the mouse prion protein promoter. Model was generated and deposited by Konstanze Winklhofer at Ruhr University Bochum through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program (available through cryorecovery). RRID:IMSR_JAX:027630
LEGEND MAX™ Human Alpha-Synuclein ELISA Kit*
Assay
ELISA kit developed in collaboration with Covance for measuring human alpha-synuclein protein in biological samples. The assay has been demonstrated to conform to AAPS performance criteria using CSF as a matrix. Please note, this assay was previously made available as an ECL ELISA but has since switched to Colorimetric.
Halo-Tagged LRRK2 MEF
Immortalized Cell
Mouse embryonic fibroblast line with knockin of the Halo tag on the N-terminal of LRRK2.
Expected availability: Early 2026
Glucosylceramide Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against human/rodent glucosylceramide.
Estimated Availability: Late 2027
INPP5F pS940 Antibody
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal phosphospecific antibody directed against Serine 940 of INPP5F.
Estimated Availability: Late 2025
