ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/WT are opti‑ox deterministically programmed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered heterozygous A53T mutation in the SNCA gene encoding the alpha-synuclein protein. These cells offer a rapidly maturing, consistent and scalable system to study 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. Additional products in the PD panel include homozygous SNCA A53T, PRKN R275W, PINK1 Q456X and GBA mutations. All disease model cells in the PD panel can be used alongside their genetically matched control, ioGlutamatergic Neurons.
A second SNCA A53T/WT clone is available on enquiry. Studying multiple clones of a specific disease model can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the disease-relevant mutation and cellular heterogeneity on associated disease phenotypes.
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 ioDisease Model Cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons to directly investigate the effect of the alpha-synuclein mutation on cellular and molecular mechanisms and cell function.
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 genetically matched control are experiment ready as early as 2 days post revival, and form structural neuronal networks at 10 days.
