Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)2Sand - Nervous System
Recombinase Activity Detail
Allele Information
Allele:
Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)2Sand
transgene insertion 2, Stewart Anderson 		Driver: Nkx2-1
Type: Transgenic (Cre/Flp)
Synonym: Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)2Qixu, NKX2.1Cre, Ttf-1Cre, Nkx2.1-cre, Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)1Qixu, Nkx2-1BACCre
Molecular description: A mouse BAC clone containing the Nkx2-1 gene was engineered to express cre recombinase. Fifteen base pairs at the 5'end of exon 2 of the Nkx2-1 gene were replaced with a cre-poly(A) construct. The mutated BAC clone was then used to generate transgenic mice. This construct is expressed in brain, thyroid, pituitary, and lung, with telecephalic expression first detectable at E10.5.
