• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Fabp4-cre/ERT2)1Ipc expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  Not Specified	Fabp4

• Mutation details: The transgenic construct encodes a tamoxifen-inducible fusion protein consisting of cre recombinase and a mutated human estrogen receptor ligand-binding domain. The adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein 4 promoter was used to drive expression in white and brown adipose tissue. (J:66706)
