Molecular Note
Sequence encoding Cre recombinase adjoined to an IRES was inserted into the 3' UTR of the endogenous locus via homologous recombination. A single FRT site remained in the UTR after an FRT flanked hygromycin selection cassette was excised. A lack of observed allele complementation indicated that the inserted sequence did not significantly affect expression of the endogenous locus.
