Description: Genetic Cataract rat SCR(Shumiya Cataract Rat)was segrigated from a SHR-fa strain colony that developed nuclear cataract at adult stage. This strain is a double mutant caused by recessive gene (ctr1) and dominant lethal gene (Ctr2l) and established by Dr. Shumiya at Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology. In 2003, this strain was introduced to Kyoritsu College of Pharmacy (keio University Faculty of Pharmacy). ctr1 is lanosterol synthase (Lss) and Ctr2 is farnesyl diphosphate farnesyl transferase 1 (Fdft1).
Inbred Generations: F544
Last Known Status: Cryopreserved Embryo (as of 2016-11-16)
