Former Names B6.129-Tg(Pcp2-Cre)2Mpin (Changed: 15-DEC-04 ) Type Congenic; Mutant Strain; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Additional information on Congenic nomenclature. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation N4+6F13 (08-JAN-08)
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Michael Meyer, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich Description
These transgenic mice express a cre gene inserted into exon 4 of a Pcp2 gene. Mice homozygous for the insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Recombinase activity is observed in most Purkinje cells and some retinal bipolar neurons. Small amounts of activity are observed in an unidentified population of cells of the central nervous system tissue. Recombination is first observed around postnatal day 6 and is fully established 2 to 3 weeks after birth.View cre expression characterization.

| 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. | |||

| Molecular Note | These transgenic mice express Cre recombinase under the direction of the Purkinje cell-specific L7/Pcp2 promoter. Recombinase activity is observed in most Purkinje cells and some retinal bipolar neurons. Small amounts of activity are observed in an unidentified population of cells of the central nervous system tissue. Recombination is first observed around postnatal day 6 and is fully established 2 to 3 weeks after birth. [MGI Ref ID J:66884] | ||
