B6N.FVB-Tg(Slc6a11-cre/ERT2)1Khakh/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250746

Common Name: Slc6a11-Cre/ERT2 BAC transgenic (GAT3-Cre/ERT2)
Slc6a11-Cre/ERT2 BAC transgenic mice have tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase expression directed at moderate levels to astrocytes and neurons. These mice allow inducible genetic manipulations in vivo for studying astrocyte and neuron biology of GAT3+ cells.

Molecular Note
The transgene contains the entire solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter GABA) member 11 locus (Slc6a11 [GAT3 or Gabt4]), as well as ~48 kbp 5' (centromeric) flanking region and ~36 kbp 3' (telomeric) flanking region from BAC. Using homologous recombination/BAC recombineering, a CreER cDNA sequence followed by an SV40 polyadenylation signal was inserted into exon 1 of the BAC Slc6a11 gene immediately preceding the translation initiation codon. No other loci on the BAC were altered. Unstated number of founder lines with germline transmission are generated.

Breeding Considerations
Hemizygous mice are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. it has not been attempted to make this strain homozygous. When maintaining a live colony, hemizygous mice may be bred with wildtype (non-carrier) mice from the colony or with C57BL/6NJ inbred mice.
