Invertebrate animal model with neurodegenerative phenotype for screening and testing substances |
摘要 |
The present invention claims an invertebrate animal that has been modified to express a set of genes, the set comprising the gene coding for a modified version of the gamma subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPKg). According to the invention, the animal displays an identifiable phenotype related to lipid metabolism and neurodegeneration. This animal provides a model of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, and may be useful for screening and testing modulating agents, substances and therapeutic compounds for neurodegenerative disorders.
