B6.129S7-Pcdhgtm2Xzw/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250232

These Pcdh-γfcon3 mutant mice possess a loxP site upstream of constant exon 3 of gamma-protocadherin (Pcdh-γ) which was fused to EGFP, followed by a loxP-flanked PGK-neomycin resistance (neo) cassette. This strain may be useful for studying neuronal structure and function of hypothalamic neuronal circuitry.

Molecular Note
The Pcdh-gamma targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of constant exon 3 of gamma-protocadherin (Pcdh-gamma) which was fused to EGFP, followed by a loxP-flanked PGK-neomycin resistance (neo) cassette.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype mice from the colony or C57BL/6J. The Donating Investigator states that fertility of homozygotes decreases quickly after 3 months of age.
