  UBQLN2 (29978)

  Ubqln2

  (MGI:1860283)

  contains a P506T substitution

• Mutation details: The transgene was designed to have the modified ~6.5 kbp mouse Thy1.2 promoter (Thy1 sequences extending from the promoter to the intron following exon 4, excluding exon 3 and its flanking introns) followed by a cDNA sequence encoding the human ubiquilin 2 protein harboring a proline-to-threonine mutation at amino acid 506. UBQLN2 missense mutations (including this one) are linked to dominant inheritance of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). (J:239510)
