Species laboratory mouse Generation N16 (08-JAN-04) Donating Investigator Gail Martin, University of California San Francisco Description
This is a transgenic line in which cre expression is controlled by the regulatory sequences from the mouse zona pellucida 3 (Zp3) gene. This promoter normally directs expression exclusively in the growing oocyte prior to the completion of the first meiotic division. This strain would be useful for deleting a floxed sequence specifically in the female germ line. Homozygotes females produce small litters (3.7 pups/litter; Genesis 26:110-112, 2000). An alternative transgenic strain that bears a similar transgenic construct and produces larger litters (~6 pups/litter) is available: C57BL/6-Tg(Zp3-cre)93Knw/J (Stock No. 003651).Development
A CreZp3 construct was injected into FVB/N zygotes to produce the founder line. The strain originated on an FVB/N background. This strain is at N10 on a C57BL/6 background. Homozygotes are viable, but subfertile.

| Expressed Gene | cre, cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1 | ||
| Cre recombinase is an enzyme derived from the bacteriophage P1 that specifically recognizes loxP sites. Cre has been shown to effectively mediate the excision of DNA located between loxP sites. After the excision event, the DNA ends recombine leaving a single loxP site in place of the intervening sequence. | |||
