- Shaking rat Kawasaki
Shaking rat Kawasaki (SRK) is an
autosomal recessive mutantrat that has a short deletion in thereelin gene. Kikkawa S, Yamamoto T, Misaki K, Ikeda Y, Okado H, Ogawa M, Woodhams PL, Terashima T. (2003) "Missplicing resulting from a short deletion in the reelin gene causes reeler-like neuronal disorders in the mutant shaking rat Kawasaki." J Comp Neurol. 2003 Aug 25;463(3):303-15. PMID 12820163 ] This results in the lowered expression of reelin protein andreeler -like phenotype. Shaking rat Kawasaki was first described in1988 . Aikawa H, Nonaka I, Woo M, Tsugane T, Esaki K. (1988) "Shaking rat Kawasaki (SRK): a new neurological mutant rat in the Wistar strain." Acta Neuropathol (Berl). 1988;76(4):366-72.
