Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Inserted expressed sequence)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Bcl2)BCap expresses 1 gene
  Transgene expresses:
  

  Organism	Expressed Gene	Note
  mouse	Bcl2 (MGI:88138)

• Mutation details: A murine Bcl2 cDNA was adjoined to a cardiac-specific alpha myosin heavy chain promoter. Western blot analysis indicated strong overexpression of the Bcl2 protein product. This line expresses at a higher level than Tg(Bcl2)ACap. (J:88267)
