B6.129P2(129S4)-Hprttm9(Ple178-EGFP/cre)Ems/Mmjax

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250128

These Ple178-EGFPCre;mEMS756 mice have the Ple178-EGFPCre transgene targeted as a single copy "knock-in" into the upstream region of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (Hprt) locus on the X chromosome. As the promoter/regulatory regions of the human regulator of G-protein signaling 16 (RGS16) gene direct expression of an EGFPCre fusion protein to hippocampus, thalamus, forebrain, cortex, brainstem, cerebellum, and retina, these Ple178-EGFPCre;mEMS756 mice may be useful in studying RGS16-expressing cells in the brain and diseases affecting the brain.

Molecular Note
The Ple178-EGFPCre transgene (pEMS1090) was designed with the 864 bp Ple178 minipromoter (RGS16-D; derived from an intronic candidate regulatory region and a subsection of the human regulator of G-protein signaling 16 (RGS16) promoter) upstream of a minimal F5 mutant-FRT site, an EGFP/Cre fusion protein (enhanced green fluorescent protein (with mutated stop) and Cre recombinase), a nuclear localization signal, a second minimal FRT site, an SV40 early polyA signal, and a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon1, intron1, exon2, and part of intron2).
