B6.Cg-Npr3tm1.1(cre)Hze/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250857

Common Name: Npr3-IRES2-Cre-D
Npr3-IRES2-Cre-D knock-in mice are designed to have Cre recombinase expression/activity directed by the endogenous natriuretic peptide receptor 3 promoter/enhancer sequences. In the brain, Cre expression is observed to be enriched in cortical layer 5 and in restricted cell populations within the hippocampal formation. These mice may be used to generate conditional mutations for studying gain-or-loss of function and/or fate mapping in NPR3-expressing cells.

Molecular Note
The targeting vector contained, from 5' to 3', a partial Npr3 sequence spanning intron 6 up to and including the endogenous stop codon in exon 8 (also with a frt3 site in intron 7), an internal ribosome entry site 2 sequence (IRES2; allows translation initiation in the middle of an mRNA sequence), a Cre recombinase gene, a bovine growth hormone polyA sequence, an AttB site, a PGK/gb2 promoter-Neomycin resistance gene-PGK polyA cassette, a frt5 site, an mRNA splice acceptor sequence, the 3' portion of the hygromycin gene (Hygro2) with SV40 polyA signal, and an AttP site. PhiC31-mediated recombination removed the AttB/AttP-flanked sequences (PGK/gb2-Neo-pA::frt5::RNA splice acceptor::3'hygro-pA) and replace it with the recombined AttB/AttP site (AttL).

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice. it has not been attempted to make this strain homozygous.
