| Primary Identifier | MGI:5787964 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Reporter | Gene | Tg(Tyr*)8748Lmon |
| Strain of Origin | Hsd:NMRI | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | This transgene contains two copies of the mouse tyrosinase gene, including all five exons, the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTs), and ~155 kb of upstream sequence encompassing the locus control region (LCR) regulatory elements at -12 kb, excluding the box A and box B elements. Transgenic mice were produced by pronuclear injection of mouse oocytes with the 250-kb yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) YRTdeltaAB, derived by homologous recombination of the YAC YRT2; YRT2 originated from a YAC library made from strain C3H genomic DNA. Expression of the transgene is demonstrated by its partial rescue of the pigment phenotype of albino NMRI mice. |
