STOCK Rai1tm1Luo/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250714

Common Name: Rai1-Tag (Rai1Tag)
The Rai1Tag knock-in allele expresses a FLAG/myc-tagged RAI1 (Rai1-Tag) before Cre recombinase exposure. Cre-mediated deletion of the floxed FLAG-myc-STOP sequence results in expression of RAI1/EGFP fusion protein (Rai1EGFP). These Rai1Tag may be useful for studying Rai1 DNA binding, circuit assembly and neuronal communication in human disorders such as Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS).

Site of Expression
Prior to Cre recombinase exposure, FLAG/myc-tagged RAI1, consistent with the endogenous gene, is expressed in many cell types in the brain. When bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, EGFP is expressed in in Cre-expressing tissues of the offspring.

Molecular Note
The targeting vector contains a loxP-flanked FLAG-myc-STOP cassette upstream of an EGFP sequence, all inserted in-frame into the endogenous stop codon. Prior to Cre recombinase exposure, expression of FLAG/myc-tagged RAI1 is observed in a pattern consistent with the endogenous gene, and no EGFP expression is reported.

Breeding Considerations
Mice homozygous for the Rai1Tag allele are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice. Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
