B6.Cg-Slc1a2tm1.1Ncd/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250600

Common Name: Flox-EAAT2; Flox-GLT-1
Flox-EAAT2 mice possess loxP sites flanking exons 3 and 4 of the Slc1a2 gene. This strain may be useful for generating conditional mutations in applications related to the regulation of excitatory glutamate neurotransmission, and the glutamate-glutamine cycle.

Molecular Note
A loxP site was inserted into intron 2 and an FRT neo-FRT loxP cassette was inserted into intron 4, floxing exons 3 and 4 of the Slc1a2 gene from the bacterial artificial chromosome clone RP24-315H4. The neomycin cassette was removed via FLP-mediated recombination, leaving exons 3 and 4 floxed by loxP sites. Cre-mediated recombination can be used to remove exons 3 and 4 which results in a frameshift deletion.
