Disease_model_descriptionGMC101 is a transgenic strain that expresses full length A-beta (1-42) and differs from other models that predominantly express amino-truncated A-beta (3-42); the A-beta (1-42) is expressed in body wall muscle cells, where it oligomerizes, aggregates and results in severe, and fully penetrant, age progressive-paralysis; a naturally occurring variant, A-beta(1-38) peptide when expressed in GMC101 reverses the negative effects of A-beta(1-42).
