| Primary Identifier | MGI:5140350 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Reporter | Gene | Tg(Dct-lacZ)#Ove |
| Strain of Origin | FVB/N | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | A 3.7 kb fragment of the upstream region of the mouse Dct gene drives expression a lacZ gene. Four founders expressing the transgene were generated. All lines show a similar pattern of expression. Transgene expression is detected in early retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), early neural crest cells, optic nerve, and neural crest-derived neuronal cells. This transgene can be used to study melanocyte development. |
