Primary Identifier | MGI:2448985 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(ACTFLPe)9205Dym |
Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x SJL)F2 | Is Recombinase | true |
Is Wild Type | false |
description | The FLPe recombinase variant exhibits enhanced thermostability with recombination activity being 4X and 10X that of wildtype FLP at 37°C and 40°C, respectively. Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. |
molecularNote | Sequence encoding FLP1 was adjoined to human ACTB promoter sequence, including 3 kb of promoter sequence and an 0.8 kb portion of exon 1. The promoter region drives expression in the germline. Recombinase activity is detected in a wide variety of tissues (spinal cord, heart, gonad, adrenal) as early as embryonic day 10.5. |
