  ACTB (60)

  Actb	(MGI:87904)

• Mutation details: Sequence encoding FLP1 was adjoined to human ACTB promoter sequence, including 3 kb of promoter sequence and an 0.8 kb portion of exon 1. The promoter region drives expression in the germline. Recombinase activity is detected in a wide variety of tissues (spinal cord, heart, gonad, adrenal) as early as embryonic day 10.5. (J:78660)

Notes

The FLPe recombinase variant exhibits enhanced thermostability with recombination activity being 4X and 10X that of wildtype FLP at 37C and 40C, respectively. Hemizygous transgenic mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.
