  SMAD2 (4087)

  Smad2

  (MGI:108051)

  Expresses a a C-terminal truncation of the human SMAD2 protein

• Mutation details: This transgene consists of a mouse minimal Mullerian-inhibiting substance promoter (-180 bp), an epitope Flag tag, a C-terminal truncation of the human Smad2 gene resulting in a dominant negative effect, and a human GH polyadenylation sequence. The Amh promoter drives transgene expression in testicular Sertoli cells and ovarian granulosa cells. RT-PCR and immunolocalization confirmed expression of RNA and protein in ovaries. Three lines were generated: 1, 2, and 3, however line 1 was lost (J:129226)
