B6.Cg-Tg(Camk2a-cre)2Szi/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250634

Common Name: R1ag#5
These R1Ag5 mice express nuclear-localized Cre recombinase from the mouse Camk2a promoter in the adult brain, with high levels in all forebrain structures, and moderate levels in the cerebellum as well as testis.

Molecular Note
This transgene expresses Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Camk2a) promoter. Expression of Cre recombinase from this transgene was detected in high levels in the forebrain, moderate levels in the cerebellum and is active by E18.5 in the embryonic cortex.

Breeding Considerations
Hemizygotes are viable and fertile. For Cre-lox experiments and to avoid/minimize germline deletion of the floxed allele, researchers may consider breeding R1ag#5 females to floxed males. See Detailed Description for more details.
