Primary Identifier | MGI:3776160 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Recombinase | Gene | Tg(Npy-cre)1Rck |
Strain of Origin | Not Specified | Is Recombinase | true |
Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | A BAC containing the Npy gene and 30 kb of upstream sequence and 90 kb of downstream sequence was used for targeting. A cre expression cassette was inserted into the ATG site of the first exon and the modified BAC was used to create transgenic animals. Cre expression in a subset of cortical neurons was confirmed by use of a virus containing a cre-dependent reporter gene. |
