Catalog Number: C001657
Strain Name: C57BL/6JCya-Fapem1(P2A-iCre)/Cya
Genetic Background: C57BL/6JCya
Examples of Expressing Tissues/Cells: Fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and Fab-positive cells
Strain Description
The TGA stop codon was replaced with the "P2A-iCre-WPRE-BGH pA" cassette. Cre recombinase is expressed under the regulatory control of Fap gene elements, without impacting the endogenous expression of the Fap gene.
Announcement
The insertion site of the Cre recombinase gene expression cassette in this strain is located on chromosome 2. Please avoid breeding with gene-edited mice targeting genes on the same chromosome as the Cre mouse when conducting mating.
