STOCK Mrgprdtm1.1(cre/ERT2)Wql/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250851

Common Name: MrgprdCreERT2
MrgprdCreERT2 mice express tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase under the direction of the MAS-related GPR, member D promoter in non-peptidergic dorsal root ganglion and trigeminal ganglion neurons. These mice are useful for systematic sparse genetic tracing of non-peptidergic nociceptors that mediate mechanical pain and beta-alanine triggered itch.

Site of Expression
When these mice are bred with mice containing a loxP-flanked sequence, Tamoxifen-inducible Cre-mediated recombination will result in deletion of the floxed sequences in the Cre-expressing cells of the offspring.

Molecular Note
A targeting construct was designed to insert a CreERT2 fusion gene (a Cre recombinase fused to a human estrogen receptor ligand binding domain) followed by a FRT flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette, just downstream of the start codon of the MAS-related GPR, member D (Mrgprd) gene. Breeding to B6.129S4-Gt(ROSA)26Sor/J removed the neo cassette.

Breeding Considerations
Mice heterozygous for MrgprdCreERT2 are viable and fertile. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype (non-carrier) mice from the colony. it has not been attempted to make this strain homozygous.
