LRRK2 G2019S Mouse*
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice expressing human LRRK2 G2019S mutation directed by the human LRRK2 promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. Model was generated and deposited by Chenjian Li at Mount Sinai School of Medicine through the MJFF Sponsored Tools Program (available through cryorecovery). RRID:IMSR_JAX:009609
LRRK2 G2019S KI Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice expressing the human G2019S point mutation introduced into exon 41 of the mouse LRRK2 gene.
LRRK2 G2019S KI MEF
Immortalized Cell
Mouse embryonic fibroblast line with knockin of the LRRK2 G2019S mutation.
Expected availability: Late 2025
LRRK2 Full-Length Protein (Human)
Protein
Full-Length human LRRK2 protein generated in vitro and assessed for kinase activity.
LRRK2 D1994A/R1441G Mouse
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice overexpressing both a mutant form D1994A and R1441G of human LRRK2 directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene.
Please note: Although founders were positively identified through genotyping and exhibited robust mRNA expression, these projects were halted due to a lack of any appreciable protein expression.
LRRK2 D1994A/G2019S Mouse
Mouse Model
Transgenic mice overexpressing both a mutant form D1994A and G2019S of human LRRK2 directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene.
Please note: Although founders were positively identified through genotyping and exhibited robust mRNA expression, these projects were halted due to a lack of any appreciable protein expression.
LRRK2 D1994A Mouse
Mouse Model
Mice expressing the D1994A mutant (kinase-dead) form of LRRK2. RRID:IMSR_JAX:021830
LRRK2 Antibody (UDD3)
Antibody
Rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against the N-terminus (LRRK2(100-500)) of wild-type LRRK2. This antibody has been found to be superior in immunoprecipitation of LRRK2 from a variety of cell lysates and tissues.
LRRK2 Antibody (SIG-39840)
Antibody
Mouse monoclonal antibody generated in a mouse lacking endogenous LRRK2 protein using a peptide of LRRK2 (AA 2069-2087).
LRRK2 Antibody (N241A/34)
Antibody
Mouse monoclonal antibody directed against wild-type LRRK2 using a fragment of LRRK2 (AA 970-2527).

"We have shown, thanks in part to MJFF, that researchers now have in their pantry the right ‘ingredients’, to... help to drive forward PD drug development.”
