B6;C3-Tg(Scnn1a-cre)1Aibs/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250153

Common Name: Scnna1-Tg1-Cre
These Scnn1a-Tg1-Cre mice express Cre recombinase under the control of the Scnn1a (sodium channel, nonvoltage-gated 1 alpha) 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, striatum, hippocampus and cerebellum).

Site of Expression
Hemizygous Scnn1a-Tg1-Cre mice are viable and fertile, with Cre expression directed to cortex, striatum, hippocampus and cerebellum by the Scnn1a promoter/enhancer regions within the BAC transgene.

Molecular Note
The 196 kb C57BL/6J mouse bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) RP23-405B24, containing the entire Scnn1a 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 Scnn1a locus. The targeted BAC sequences were further modified using FLP recombination to remove the selection cassette and linearized to remove its original vector backbone. Cre expression is directed to cortex, striatum, hippocampus and cerebellum by the Scnn1a promoter/enhancer regions within the BAC transgene.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, transgenic carrier mice may be bred together, to wildtype (non-carrier) siblings, or to C57BL/6J inbred mice.
