Primary Identifier | MGI:5805225 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Inserted expressed sequence, Reporter | Gene | Tg(Acta2-GFP)1Pfk |
Strain of Origin | C57BL/6 | Is Recombinase | false |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The transgene contains the promoter region of the mouse actin, alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta (Acta2) gene, including 1074 bp of 5' flanking region, the transcription start site, the 48-bp first exon, the ~2.5-kb first intron, and 15 bp of exon 2, driving expression of green fluorescent protein. Transgenic mice express GFP specifically in both vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle cells. |
