| Primary Identifier | MGI:3038016 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(Krt2-6a-cre)1Ism |
| Strain of Origin | CBA and C57BL/6J | Is Recombinase | true |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The transgenic construct consisted of cDNA encoding cre recombinase adjoined to the mouse Krt2-6a promoter. Cre-mediated recombination was observed in the companion cell layer of hair follicles, a discrete cell population located between the inner and outer root sheaths. With retinoic acid treatment, the expression domain is expanded to the interfollicular basal and outer root sheath cells. |
