ioGlutamatergic Neurons PINK1 Q456X/WT are opti‑ox deterministically programmed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered heterozygous 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. Two additional clones for the PINK1 Q456X het mutation are available for scientists who wish to repeat their experiments in multiple independent clones, please enquire. Additional mutations in the PD panel include homozygous PINK1 Q456X mutation, PRKN R275W, SNCA A53T and GBA mutations. All can be used alongside their genetically matched control, ioGlutamatergic Neurons.
Confidently investigate your phenotype of interest across multiple clones with our disease model clone panel. Detailed characterisation data (below) and bulk RNA sequencing data (upon request) help you select specific clones if required.
per vial
A maximum number of 20 vials applies. If you would like to order more than 20 vials, please contact us at orders@bit.bio.
Make True Comparisons
Pair the Parkinson's disease model cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons to investigate the impact of the PINK1 nonsense mutation on early-onset PD.
Scalable
With opti-ox technology, we can make billions of consistently programmed cells, surpassing the demands of industrial workflows.
Quick
The disease model cells and wild-type control are experiment ready as early as 2 days post revival, and form structural neuronal networks at 11 days.
