Primary Identifier | MGI:5445555 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
Attribute String | Inducible, Recombinase | Gene | Tg(Myh6-cre/PGR*)6297Mds |
Strain of Origin | FVB/N | Induced With | mifepristone |
Is Recombinase | true | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | The Myh6 promoter was used to drive cardiac myocyte-specific expression of an inducible cre fused to the mutated ligand-binding domain of human PGR (amino acids 641-891). Three founder lines, 6306, 6297, and 6299, were generated with line 6306 showing the lowest level of cre protein by Western blot and lowest prevalence of ligand-dependent recombination, with 6299 showing the highest level of recombination. Copy number in 6297 was found to be intermediate, greater than 1 but less than in 6299 (c.# 10). |
