description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Humanized sequence, Inserted expressed sequence)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Th-SNCA)5Eric expresses 1 gene
 
Tg(Th-SNCA)5Eric expression driven by 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsThe transgene contains a 9 kb rat tyrosine hydroxylase promoter, a splice donor/intron/splice acceptor, a poly(A) site from the human growth hormone gene, and a wild-type human alpha synuclein cDNA. RT-PCR detected transgene expression in midbrain, eye, and adrenal gland. Real time quantitative RT-PCR as well as in situ hybridization histochemistry detected high levels of transgene expression in the midbrain. Catecholaminergic nuclei in the brain of transgenic mice expressed both human mRNA and human protein. These mice express high levels of the human protein in the cell bodies of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain and its main projection region, the striatum, dopaminergic dendrites, and nigrostriatal axons and terminals.
