STOCK Prokr2em1(icre)Cfe/Mmjax

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250891

ProkR2-Cre knock-in mice are designed to have codon optimized iCre recombinase expression directed to prokineticin receptor 2-expressing cells. These mice may be used to generate conditional mutations for studying gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal migration, olfactory bulb development, infertility, and Kallmann syndrome.

Site of Expression
In females, expression of ProkR2-Cre is found in the medial preoptic area, ventrome-dial nucleus of the hypothalamus, arcuate nucleus, medial amygdala and lateral prabrachial nucleus. In males, expression occurs in the amygdalo-hippocampal area.

Molecular Note
Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a GSG linker, a T2A viral peptide, an iCre recombinase, and a bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal (bPA) were inserted between the final Prokr2 codon and termination codon. The sgRNA target was cloned into the plasmid pX330. The circular pX330 plasmidandcircular donor plasmid were mixed and injected into the pronuclei of B6SJLF1 fertilized zygotes. Embryos were transferred to pseudopregnant B6D2F1 females to establish the mouse line.
