B6;C3-Tg(Cyp39a1-cre)7Aibs/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250157

Common Name: Cyp39a1-Tg7-Cre

These Cyp39a1-Tg7-Cre mice express Cre recombinase under the control of the Cyp39a1 (cytochrome P450, family 39, subfamily a, polypeptide 1) promoter/enhancer regions, and may be useful for generating conditional mutations for studying gain or loss of function and/or fate mapping in subgroups of brain tissues (including cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum).

Molecular Note	The 206 kb C57BL/6J mouse bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) RP23-370M9, containing the entire Cyp39a1 locus (and other genes), was modified by targeting a Cre recombinase coding sequence (the CreERT2 sequence modified back to encode the normal Cre recombinase gene), SV40 polyA signal, and FRT flanked neomycin cassette to the ATG start site of the Cyp39a1 locus. The targeted BAC sequences were further modified using FLP recombination to remove the selection cassette and linearized to remove its original vector backbone. show more close
