Former Names C57BL/6-TgN(Zp3-Cre)93Knw (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered Mutant Mice. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory mouse Generation F?+F12 (04-DEC-07) Donating Investigator Barbara Knowles, The Jackson Laboratory 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. The Donating Investigator suggests to accomplish this, females homozygous or heterozygous for the floxed allele, as well as hemizygous for the Zp3cre allele are crossed with wild type males. Progeny will carry the deleted-floxed allele.Development
A transgenic construct containing sequence encoding Cre recombinase, a 6Kb sequence of the mouse Zp3 promoter and the metallothionein-1 polyadenylation site sequence was injected into C57BL/6J zygotes to produce the founder line.

| Strain of Origin | C57BL/6J | ||
| Site of Expression | female germ line; growing oocyte to the completion of the first prior meiotic division | ||
| 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. | |||
| Promoter | Zp3, zona pellucida glycoprotein 3, mouse, laboratory | ||
| Molecular Note | This transgene expresses Cre recombinase under the control of a mouse zona pellucida 3 (Zp3) promoter. This promoter is active in the female germ line (oocytes). [MGI Ref ID J:67903] [MGI Ref ID J:91405] [MGI Ref ID J:97667] | ||

| Standard Supply | Repository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of ~nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within 48 hours of order placement. |
