Primary Identifier | MGI:4455185 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Inducible, Inserted expressed sequence | Gene | Tg(tetO-ptxA)1Conk |
Strain of Origin | FVB/N | Induced With | doxycycline/tetracycline |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | This transgene contains the tetracycline transactivator responsive element (TRE) driving expression, from a minimal promoter, of the catalytic S1 subunit of pertussis toxin, encoded by ptxA. This permits tTA (tet-off) or rtTA (tet-on) to induce expression of PTX-S1, which blocks signaling via the pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins (Gi and Go). |
