NOD.Cg-Tg(CAG-cre/Esr1*)5Amc/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251001

Common Name: NOD.CAG-Cre/Esr1; CAGCre-ERTM
When these CAGGCre-ERTM mice are bred with mice carrying a floxed target gene, tamoxifen-inducible Cre-mediated recombination results in deletion of the floxed sequences in widespread cells or tissues of the offspring, including developing embryos and cultured cells derived from transgenic mice.

Molecular Note
This transgene expresses a fusion protein consisting of Cre recombinase joined to the ligand-binding domain of a mouse estrogen receptor modified to bind to 4-hydroxytamoxifen, but not to endogenous estrogen. The CAG promoter, containing a chicken beta actin promoter/enhancer coupled with the cytomegalovirus immediate-early (CMV-IE) enhancer, drives high levels of expression in most tissues. In the presence of tamoxifen, the fusion protein is transported into the nucleus, where Cre can excise loxP-flanked segments from conditionally modified genes.

Breeding Considerations
Homozygotes are not viable. Hemizygotes are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.
