STOCK Gbx2tm1.1(cre/ERT2)Jyhl/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250467

Common Name: Gbx2CreER
This strain expresses a CreERT2-IRES-EGFP cassette from the gastrulation brain homeobox 2 Gbx2 promoter/enhancer elements. These mice may be useful for lineage mapping of thalamic neuronal precursor cells.

Molecular Note
A Cre/ERT2-IRES-EGFP-FRT flanked neo cassette was inserted into the 5' untranslated region via homologous recombination. The neo cassette was then removed by Flp mediated recombination. Expression patterns of Cre/ERT2 transcripts and EGFP proteins match those of the endogenous protein.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype mice from the colony. Homozygotes lack a cerebellum and thalamocortical projections, and die at birth.
