Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Recombinase)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Mitf-cre)710-59Gsb expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  mouse	Mitf (MGI:104554)

• Mutation details: A cre coding region was inserted prior to the protein coding region of Mitf contained within BAC RP23-314C21. 5 lines were created and one line was studied (line 710-59). Cre expression under the control of the Mitf promoter was confirmed to be melanocyte-specific. (J:132975)
