Human iPSC-derived Parkinson's disease model
ioGlutamatergic Neurons PINK1 Q456X/Q456X are opti‑ox deterministically programmed excitatory neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous Q456X mutation in the PINK1 gene encoding the protein PTEN induced putative kinase 1. These cells offer a rapidly maturing, disease relevant system for investigating the role of PINK1 Q456X mutation in early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD).
This disease model is part of a Parkinson's disease panel of physiologically relevant human iPSC-derived cells that can be incorporated into translational research and drug discovery workflows. An additional clone for the PINK1 Q456X hom mutation is available for scientists who wish to repeat their experiments in multiple independent clones, please enquire. Additional mutations in the PD panel include a heterozygous PINK1 Q456X mutation, PRKN R275W, SNCA A53T and GBA mutations. All can be used alongside their genetically matched control, ioGlutamatergic Neurons.
