  SOD1 (6647)

  Sod1	(MGI:98351)

• Mutation details: The transgene construct consists of a human SOD1 gene carrying a glycine to alanine substitution at position 93 (G93A). The G93A mutation does not alter the activity of the protein. Northern blot and Western blot confirmed the expression of the human transgene in transgenic animals. (J:32665, J:43332, J:43347)
