Tg(CAG-cre/Esr1*)5Amc
transgene insertion 5, Andrew P McMahon 		Driver: CAG
Type: Transgenic (Inducible, Recombinase)
Inducer: tamoxifen
Synonym: CAG-CreEr, CAGG-Cre, CaggCreER, CAGGCre-ER, CAGGCre-ERTM, CAGGCre-ERtm line 5.8, CAGGS-CreER, CAGGS-CreErT, CMV-creERT, Cre-ER, Cre-ERTM, CreESRT, ER-cre, Tg:Cag-Cre/Esr1, Tg(CAG-cre/Esr1)5Amc, TgCAGGCreER, TgCreER, Tg(cre/Esr1)5Amc, uCreERT
Molecular description: This transgene expresses a fusion protein consisting of Cre recombinase joined to the ligand-binding domain of a mouse estrogen receptor modified to bind to 4-hydroxytamoxifen, but not to endogenous estrogen. The CAG promoter, containing a chicken beta actin promoter/enhancer coupled with the cytomegalovirus immediate-early (CMV-IE) enhancer, drives high levels of expression in most tissues. In the presence of tamoxifen, the fusion protein is transported into the nucleus, where cre can excise loxP-flanked segments from conditionally modified genes.
