Shaking rat Kawasaki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shaking rat Kawasaki (SRK) is an autosomal recessive mutant rat that has a short deletion in the reelin gene.[1] This results in the lowered expression of reelin protein and reeler-like phenotype. Shaking rat Kawasaki was first described in 1988.[2]
