B6.129-Otx1tm4(cre)Asim/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250030

Common Name: Otx1Cre
These mice express Cre recombinase directed by endogenous Otx1 promoter/enhancer elements. When induced, Cre recombinase activity is observed in the embryonic lateral midbrain and presumptive alar-basal plate boundary.

Molecular Note
Exon 2 and part of exon 1 were deleted and replaced with a Cre-neo cassette via homologous recombination, resulting in Cre expression under Otx1 regulatory elements.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as heterozygotes due to homozygous perinatal lethality.
