  Transgene expresses:
  

  Organism	Expressed Gene	Note
  mouse	Or8a1 (MGI:2661338)	contains an IRES-tau-mCherry tag

• Mutation details: The transgene contains 485 bp of the Olfr151 promoter (M71 minigene)and 4 repeats of the 21 bp (4x21) enhancer sequence from the olfactory receptor H-region upstream of the transcriptional start site followed by an IRES-tau-mCherry tagged Olfr151 gene. This is founder line 4MGalpha. Fifteen copies of the transgene integrated into this line. Transgene expression is detected in 2-4% of the olfactory sensory neurons. (J:238259)
