  Atxn2

  (MGI:1277223)

  Expresses mutant isoform with CAG72 repeats in exon 1

• Mutation details: A 169 kb human BAC (RP11-798L5) containing the entire 150 kb human ATXN2 locus including regulatory regions was engineered to replace the endogenous ATXN2 exon-1 CAG22 with CAG72 repeats. Quantitative PCR analysis indicates tandem integration of 4 copies of the transgene. RT-PCR confirmed expression of transcripts throughout the central nervous system, including cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and spinal cord, and in non-central nervous system tissues like the heart and liver. Western blot confirmed expression of protein. The pound symbol (#) is used when no line is specified and/or lines are pooled. (J:224692)
