description
Transgene Type:    Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence, Reporter)
Mutation:    Insertion
 
Tg(Acta2-AKR1B1)#Pfk expresses 1 gene
 
Mutation detailsThe transgene contains the promoter region of the mouse actin, alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta (Acta2) gene, including 1074 bp of 5' flanking region, the transcription start site, the 48-bp first exon, the ~2.5-kb first intron, and 15 bp of exon 2, driving expression of human aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B (also called aldose reductase). Transgenic mice express AKR1B1 specifically in both vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle cells and also in the cone bipolar cells of the retina. (J:43053, J:195671)
