  App	(MGI:88059)

• Mutation details: The transgene expresses the mutant human amyloid protein precursor APPSwe, which bears the Swedish (K670N/M671L) mutation, under the control of the Syrian hamster prion protein promoter. Transgenic mice express the App protein in brain at approximately 5 times the level of control mice. (J:69967)
