STOCK Oprk1tm1.1(cre)Sros/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251006

Common Name: KOR-cre
KOR-Cre knock-in/knock-out mice have the endogenous kappa opioid receptor promoter/enhancer sequences directing expression of Cre recombinase. These mice are a Cre-lox tool allowing Cre recombination in Oprk1-expressing cells/tissues (including neurons of the cortex and striatum, retina, lung, liver, and kidney), and may be useful in studying reward, pain, and nociception.

Molecular Note
The coding region of the gene in exon 2 was replaced with a Cre recombinase gene followed by a polyadenylation sequence. An Frt-flanked neomycin selection cassette was inserted at the 3' end, but removed by flp-mediated recmobination in the final allele.

Breeding Considerations
Both heterozygous and homozygous mice are viable and fertile with normal breeding, and no reported gross phenotypic or behavioral abnormalities. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6NJ inbred mice. Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
