Tg(MAPT*V337M)1Gds

The transgenic construct contains the 201 kb P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) 61D6 and includes 5 kb of sequence upstream of the human MAPT promoter and an additional 62 kb downstream of the 3' end of MAPT. The downstream segment also contains the 3' end of the gene KIAA1267, however, human MAPT is the only complete gene in the PAC . The construct includes the mutation V337M in exon 12 representing an GTG to ATG nucleotide substitution. This mutation results in an amino acid substitution of methionine for valine at position 337. Line 1 was generated. (J:152671)
