| Primary Identifier | MGI:7341862 | Allele Type | Transgenic |
| Attribute String | Reporter | Gene | Tg(Rr596*-EGFP)9Mrub |
| Strain of Origin | either: (C57BL/6 x CBA)F2 or (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F2 | Is Recombinase | false |
| Is Wild Type | false |
| molecularNote | The transgene contains the following: the Pomc gene, including sequence 8 kb downstream of the transcription start site and 13 kb upstream, containing pituitary-specific enhancer Rr281 but with two neuron-specific enhancers Rr279 (nPE1) and Rr280 (nPE2) deleted (585 bp, 172 bp), and the promoter, with the EGFP reporter gene and SV40 poly(A) signal sequences inserted upstream of the translation start site. The transgene is expressed in pituitary melanotrophs and corticotrophs but not in hypothalamic arcuate neurons during embryonic development. |
