Strain Information
Type Mutant Stock; Transgenic; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-MAR-06 Species laboratory mouse Generation ?+N1F11 (31-DEC-07)
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Andrew McMahon, Harvard University Description
Mice hemizygous for the transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express the Cre recombinase under the control of the human keratin 14 promoter. Cre transcript is detected in the skin. When crossed to a reporter line containing Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1Sor, Beta-galactosidase activity is detected in the oral ectoderm at 11.75 dpc, and at 14.5 dpc activity is detected in the skin and throughout the dental epithelium. This strain represents an effective tool for generating tissue-specific targeted mutants that would be useful to study developmentally critical gene function in the ectoderm and its derivatives.View cre expression characterization.
Development
A transgenic construct containing sequence encoding cre recombinase under the control of a human keratin 14 promoter/enhancer with the human growth hormone gene and a polyadenylation signal, was introduced into B6CBAF1 donor eggs.

| Allele Symbol | Tg(KRT14-cre)1Amc | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Allele Name | transgene insertion 1, Andrew P McMahon | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | K14 cre; K14-cre; K14cre; Krt14Cre; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Joe Vaughan, Harvard University | ||
| Strain of Origin | (C57BL/6 x CBA)F1 | ||
| Site of Expression | skin, the oral ectoderm including the dental lamina at 11.75 d.p.c., and the dental epithelium by 14.5 d.p.c. | ||
| 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 | KRT14, keratin 14, human | ||
| Driver Note | KRT14 | ||
| General Note |
This allele is representative of 2 founders (#199 and #200) exhibiting the highest level of transgene expression. Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. | ||
| Molecular Note | The transgene is composed of a cre recombinase gene under the control of a human keratin 14 promoter. The human KRT14 promoter directs transgene expression in hair and skin. The transgene also contains a human growth hormone sequence and polyadenylationsignal. When crossed to a transgenic reporter line, beta-galactosidase activity was detected in the oral ectoderm at 11.75 dpc, and at 14.5 dpc activity is detected in the skin and throughout the dental epithelium.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise
The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.Ordering Information
