B6.Cg-Tg(Des-cre)1Zli/Orl

Status	Available to order
EMMA ID	EM:02229
International strain name	B6.Cg-Tg(Des-cre)1Zli/Orl
Alternative name	Mdes4kb-Cre
Strain type	Transgenic Strains
Allele/Transgene symbol	Tg(Des-cre)1Zli,
Gene/Transgene symbol	Tg(Des-cre)1Zli

Information from provider

Provider	Zhenlin LI
Provider affiliation	Université Pierre et Marie Curie
Genetic information	Mdes4kb-Cre transgenic construct bears a 4.6 kb EcoRI/SalI desmin promoter (from -4005 to +608) and a cre recombinase gene with a nuclear localization signal. This 4 kb upstream region of the murine desmin promoter directs expression of the cre recombinase gene in the heart from E7.5 and in skeletal muscle and some vascular smooth muscle cells from E9.5.
Phenotypic information	No observed defects.
