  Mapt	(MGI:97180)

• Mutation details: The tetracycline response element with a bidirectional CMV promoter drives inducible expression of the four-repeat domain on human MAPT (TauRD; 244-372 aa) carrying the frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 Lys280 deletion (deltaK280), and a luciferase gene. The Lys280 deletion accelerates aggregation of MAPT (Tau). (J:131379)
