B6(Cg)-Chrna7tm1.1Ehs/YakelJ

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250627

Common Name: α7nAChRflox
α7nAChRflox mice have loxP sites flanking exon 4 of the Chrna7 gene. This strain may be useful for generating conditional mutations in studies of possible therapeutic targets for cognitive defects and applications related to the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. This floxed allele acts as a hypomorph - see Detailed Description for more information.

Molecular Note
The targeting vector contains a loxP site 290 bp upstream of exon 4 and loxP site followed by a FRT flanked PGK-Neo selection cassette 380 bp downstream of exon 4. Flp-mediated recombination removed the FRT flanked neo cassette leaving exon 4 floxed.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, these mice can be bred as heterozygotes. Homozygous mice exhibit decreased breeding performance.
