Bcgen (Beijing Biocytogen Co., Ltd)
Related Genes
Prrx1 (paired related homeobox 1); K-2; Pmx; Pmx1; Prx1; mHox; AA755424; AI385634; AI843499; A230024N07Rik
Background
C57BL/6
Appearance
Black
Genotypes
Prrx1 iCre (wt/mut)
Development
In this strain, Cre recombinase expression is under the control of Prrx1 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 Prrx1 expressing cells.

Targeting Strategy
-
An F2A-iCre sequence cassette was placed between the coding sequence of exon 1 and 5’UTR of the Prrx1 gene in C57BL/6 ES cells. This strain was maintained on a C57BL/6 genetic background.
