Primary Identifier | MGI:3764660 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Inducible, Null/knockout, Recombinase, Reporter | Gene | Lgr5 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | 129P2/OlaHsd |
Induced With | tamoxifen | Is Recombinase | true |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | An EGFP-IRES-creERT2 cassette was inserted into exon 1 of the gene along with a loxP-flanked neomycin cassette. The neomycin gene was then excised in vivo by crossing with cre-deleter strain. GFP expression is driven by the endogenous promoter. Cre expression is induced in Lgr5 expressing cells by tamoxifen treatment. |
