Grik3-iCre Mice

Catalog Number: C001660

Strain Name: C57BL/6JCya-Grik3em1(P2A-iCre)/Cya

Genetic Background: C57BL/6JCya

Examples of Expressing Tissues/Cells: Hippocampus, cerebral cortex, thalamus, spinal cord, eyes, and Grik3-positive cells

 

Strain Description

The TAG stop codon was replaced with the "P2A-iCre" cassette. Cre recombinase is expressed under the regulatory control of Grik3 gene elements, without impacting the endogenous expression of the Grik3 gene.

Announcement

The insertion site of the Cre recombinase gene expression cassette in this strain is located on chromosome 4. Please avoid breeding with gene-edited mice targeting genes on the same chromosome as the Cre mouse when conducting mating.
