| Primary Identifier | MGI:5705365 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Inducible, Recombinase, Reporter | Gene | Tg(hs799-cre/ERT2,-GFP)405Jlr |
| Strain of Origin | FVB/NJ | Induced With | tamoxifen |
| Is Recombinase | true | Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | This transgene contains the human enhancer element hs799, which is flanked on human Chr 7 by the neurexophilin 1 (NXPH1) gene and the human ortholog of the mouse AA545190 long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene, followed by a minimal Hsp68 promoter, the cre/ERT2 fusion gene, an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES), and a green fluorescent protein reporter gene. The fusion gene encodes Cre recombinase joined to a modified ligand-binding domain of the human estrogen receptor that preferentially binds tamoxifen or 4-hydroxytamoxifen, but not endogenous 17beta-estradiol; upon binding to tamoxifen, the cre/ERT2 protein is translocated to the nucleus. |
