STOCK En1tm7(cre/ESR1)Alj/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250083

En1-CreERT1 mutant mice harbor the Cre-ERT1 fusion gene under control of the endogenous engrailed 1 locus. When En1-CreERT1 mice are bred with mice containing a loxP-flanked sequence of interest, tamoxifen-inducible, Cre-mediated recombination will result in deletion of the flanked sequences in En1-expressing tissues (including the mesencephalon and rhombomere 1, as well as the developing cerebellum, dermis, and limbs).

Molecular Note
A tamoxifen dependent form of Cre recombinase (CreER) and a loxP-flanked neo in reverse orientation were inserted into the locus. The neo was removed in vivo via Cre-mediated recombination.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype siblings. The donating investigator reports that homozygotes die at birth. Of note, to ensure the mutant phenotype of these En1-mutant mice, avoid crossing these mice onto the C57BL/6 genetic background (as the phenotype of En1-null mice is rescued on the C57BL/6 genetic background).
