- Background strain: Sprague Dawley
Availability: Live colony
Zygosity genotype: Homozygous
Developed in collaboration with The Michael J. Fox Foundation, this model contains a deletion of the endogenous rat SNCA gene, encoding the alpha-synuclein protein. This model was generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome targeting strategy. Mutations and multiplications of the SNCA gene have been linked to early-onset Parkinson’s disease (PD), making this model useful for understanding alpha-synuclein biology and PD pathogenesis.
The Alpha-Synuclein SNCA KO rat model was originally created at SAGE Labs, Inc. in St. Louis, MO and distributed out of the Boyertown, PA facility. The line continues to be maintained through the original SAGE Labs animal inventory acquired by Envigo, then Envigo was acquired by Inotiv in 2021.
Note: Model does not require a breeding license or MTA for purchase.
