B6;129-Otx2tm2(cre/ERT2)Tlam/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250989

Common Name: Otx2CreERT2
The knock-in/knock-out Otx2CreERT2 allele replaces exons 1 and 2 of the orthodenticle homeobox 2 (Otx2) with a tamoxifen-inducible Cre-ERT2 under direction of the endogenous Otx2 promoter. These Otx2CreERT2 mice may be useful in studying neural development, retinal development, cellular proliferation, and medulloblastoma.
