Transgene
description

Transgene Type:

Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)

Mutation:

Insertion

Tg(THY1-Prph1)1Jpj expresses 1 gene

Mutation details: The full mouse Prph1 sequence starting 23 nucleotides upstream from the translation initiation site and ending 2.5 kb downstream of the polyadenylation signal was used for the transgene. Regulatory sequences from human THY1, which include the THY1 promoter and noncoding exons 1 and 2, were used to drive expression of the transgene. (J:58388)

Carrying this Mutation:	Mouse Strains: 0 strains available Cell Lines: 0 lines available

Notes

Transgenic animals carry 4 copies of the transgene and begin to develop motor dysfunctions after 2 years of age. Protein expression is increased 4-fold in the ventral roots and 2-fold in the dorsal roots of transgenic animals as determined by Western blot analysis.
