B6;129S-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm38(CAG-GCaMP3)Hze/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250290

Ai38 mice express the fluorescent calcium indicator protein GCaMP3 after exposure to Cre recombinase. Following subsequent calcium binding (such as neuronal activation), bright EGFP fluorescence is observed.

Molecular Note
The Rosa-CAG-LSL-GCaMP3-WPRE targeting vector was designed with (from 5' to 3') a CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG), an FRT site, a loxP-flanked STOP cassette (with stop codons in all 3 reading frames and a triple polyA signal), a GCaMP3 fusion gene, a woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE; to enhance the mRNA transcript stability), a BGH polyA signal, and an attB/attP-flanked PGK-FRT Neo-polyA cassette. The GCaMP3 fusion gene contains a cDNA sequence encoding the chicken smooth muscle M13 fragment of myosin light chain kinase, a circularly permutated EGFP (amino acid residues 149-238 followed by amino acid residues 1-144 (including M153K, V163A, S175G, D180Y, T203V, A206K, and V93I mutations to inCrease dynamic range and baseline fluorescence), and a DNA fragment encoding amino acid residues 2-148 of the rat calmodulin (modified to harbor the N60D mutation to inCrease the fluorescence change for small calcium transients).
