STOCK Trpa1tm2Kykw Tg(CAG-cre/Esr1*)5Amc/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250131

Common Name: Trpa1 CKO/CKO deltaNeo Tg(cre/Esr1)5Amc/J
This Trpa1CKO;pCAGGCre-ERTM compound mutant has a floxed allele of the Trpa1 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily A, member 1) gene in addition to a tamoxifen inducible cre transgene driven by the chicken beta actin promoter/enhancer coupled with the cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early enhancer (see). Restricted to the cytoplasm, the cre/Esr1 protein can only gain access to the nuclear compartment after exposure to tamoxifen. Tamoxifen administration induces cre recombination within the Trpa1 allele, excising the S5/S6 transmembrane domains. Animals not treated with tamoxifen display no observable phenotype.

Molecular Note
LoxP sites were placed on either side of exons 22-24 (encoding the S5/S6 transmembrane domains) and an FRT flanked neomycin resistance cassette inserted in the opposite transcriptional orientation in intron 24. The neomycin cassette was excised by crossing these mice to a Gt(ROSA)26Sor-driven Flp strain on a 129S4/SvJaeSor.

Breeding Considerations
When maintained as a live colony, animals homozygous for the targeted mutation and hemizygous for the transgene may be intercrossed. Animals homozygous for the transgene are not believed to be viable.
