Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Inducible, Recombinase)
• Inducer: tamoxifen
• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Camk2a-cre/ERT2)2Gsc expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  Not Specified	Camk2a

• Mutation details: The Camk2a promoter was used to drive expression of a cre and human estrogen receptor fusion (cre/ESR1). Expression is inducible by tamoxifen and localizes to the neurons of the adult forebrain. (J:125230)

Notes

Three lines were created (lines 1, 2 and 3) with 1, 2 and 4 copy numbers of the transgene, respectively. Line 2 was choosen as the representative line because while copy number affects the level of expression similar phenotypes are produced and the majority of the reporting in J:125230 focuses on line 2.
