STOCK Tg(Atoh1-cre/Esr1*)14Fsh/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250070

Common Name: Math1-CreERT2
These knock-in mice express a tamoxifen-inducible cre recombinase from the endogenous promoter/enhancer elements of the atonal homolog 1 (Drosophila) (Atoh1, also referred to as Math1) gene. When induced, cre activity is observed in neural progenitors of the cerebellar rhombic lip, dorsal hindbrain and spinal cord, as well as in inner-ear primordial. These mice may be useful in studying cerebellum development and fate mapping of Math1/Atoh1 cells.

Site of Expression
Tamoxifen-inducible Cre activity is observed in neural progenitors of the cerebellar rhombic lip, dorsal hindbrain and spinal cord, as well as in inner-ear primordia (with a limited amount of ectopic expression in the primordium of the hippocampus but not the cortex)

Molecular Note
The transgene was designed with a 1.4 kb mouse Math1 (Atoh1) 3' enhancer (and a beta-globin minimal promoter) sequence upstream of a CreERT2 fusion gene (Cre recombinase fused to a G400V/M543A/L544A triple mutation of the human estrogen receptor ligand binding domain). Tamoxifen-inducible Cre activity is observed in neural progenitors of the cerebellar rhombic lip, dorsal hindbrain and spinal cord, as well as in inner-ear primordia (with a limited amount of ectopic expression in the primordium of the hippocampus but not the cortex).

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, transgenic mice can be bred to wildtype siblings or bred together, although a homozygous phenotype is not yet characterized (Aug-2007).
