Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Steven K. Libutti, National Cancer Institute Description
Hemizygous mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Cre activity is observed only in parathyroid tissue; no activity is seen in thyroid, muscle, lymph node, trachea, thymus, salivary tissues, lung, heart, liver, brain, stomach, spleen, kidney, large intestine, small intestine, and pancreas. When bred with any mouse containing a loxP-flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination will result in parathyroid-specific deletion of the flanked genome. These transgenic mice may be useful in generating mouse models of parathyroid-specific deletion of genes of interest, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, extracellular calcium-sensing receptor, and vitamin D receptor.Development
A targeting vector was designed to place a cre recombinase gene (followed by a metallothionein-1 polyadenylation signal) under control of the human parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulatory elements. This construct was microinjected into FVB embryos. Founder 4167 was bred to FVB. Transgenic mice were next crossed to 129SvEvTac mice carrying a loxP-flanked mutation of the Men1 gene. The resulting offspring were bred together and selected for the transgene/against the targeted mutation to obtain PTH-cre transgenic mice on a mixed 129;FVB background. This line was maintained by breeding transgenic positive mice together for an unknown number of generations prior to arriving at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, mutant mice were bred to FVB/NJ mice for one generation and are now maintained by breeding transgenic mice with wild-type siblings.

| Allele Name | transgene insertion 4167, Steven K Libutti | ||
| Allele Type | Transgenic (Cre/Flp) | ||
| Common Name(s) | PTH-cre; Tg(PTH-cre)1Slib; | ||
| Mutation Made By | Steven Libutti, Albert Einstein College of Medicine | ||
| Site of Expression | parathyroid tissue | ||
| 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 | PTH, parathyroid hormone, human | ||
| Driver Note | PTH | ||
| Molecular Note | A 5' upstream regulatory region of the human PTH gene was adjoined to sequence encoding cre recombinase followed by a metallothionein 1 polyadenylation signal. The expression of cre recombinase is parathyroid cell specific. [MGI Ref ID J:86642] | ||

If a second cryorecovery is needed in order to provide the minimum number of animals, animals will ship within 25 weeks. IMPORTANT NOTE: The genotypes of animals provided may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation, or that discussed in the strain description. Please inquire about possible genotypes which will be recovered for this specific strain. The Jackson Laboratory cannot guarantee the reproductive success of mice shipped to your facility. If the mice are lost after the first three days (post-arrival) or do not produce progeny at your facility, a new order and fee will be necessary.Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
