Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Recombinase)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Tyr-cre)1Gfk expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  Not Specified	Tyr

• Mutation details: These transgenes express cre under the control of the tyrosinase promoter. Three lines were reported. Lines 1 and 2 include the full enhancer in addition to the promoter. Line 3 lacks the enhancer. Lines 1 and 2 express cre in neural crest derived regions as well as in melanoblasts. (J:87271)
