B6;129-Otx2tm1.1Tlam/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250990

Common Name: Otx2flox
Otx2flox mice have loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the orthodenticle homeobox 2 (Otx2) gene. Exposure to Cre recombinase removes the floxed sequence - creating a null allele. These Otx2flox mice may be useful in studying neural development, retinal development, cellular proliferation, and medulloblastoma.

Breeding Considerations
Both heterozygous and homozygous mice are viable and fertile with normal breeding, and no reported gross phenotypic or behavioral abnormalities. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony. Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
