Basic Information

Strain Name
C57BL/6-Grpr tm1(iCre) /Bcgen
Stock Number
110125
Common Name
B-Grpr-iCre Mice
Source/Investigator
Bcgen (Beijing Biocytogen Co., Ltd)
Related Genes
Grpr (gastrin releasing peptide receptor); GRP-R
Background
C57BL/6
Appearance
Black
Genotypes
Grpr iCre (wt/mut)
Development
In this strain, iCre recombinase expression is under the control of Grpr promoter. When crossed with a strain containing a loxP site-flanked sequence of interest, Cre-mediated recombination results in deletion of the flanked sequence in Grpr expressing cells.
NCBI Gene ID

Targeting Strategy

An F2A-iCre sequence cassette was placed between the coding sequence of exon 3 and 3’UTR of the Grpr gene in C57BL/6 ES cells. This strain was maintained on a C57BL/6 genetic background.
