Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Additional information on Genetically Engineered and Mutant Mice. Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Species laboratory mouse Donating Investigator Peter Mombaerts, Max Planck Institute of Biophysics Description
The coding region and part of the 3' non-translated region of the Omp gene was replaced by Cre. The targeted mutation results in a knockout. Mature olfactory sensory neurons express the Cre recombinase at high levels. Homozygous mice are subfertile.As an example, when crossed to a strain with widespread expression of GFP and a loxP-flanked Bgeo reporter (see Stock No. 004178), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in lineage tracing.
Development
The 129P2/OlaHsd derived E14 ES cell was used to generate this targeted mutation and the resulting mice were crossed to C57BL/6, and then intercrossed to homozygosity. The FRT-flanked neo cassette (FNF) is retained within this strain, and can be removed by flp-mediated recombination.The plasmid that was used to generate this mutation is banked and described at Addgene.

| 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. | |||
