Mutation description

Allele Type: Targeted (Modified regulatory region) Mutation: Insertion Mutation details: A floxed neo cassette was inserted between the first upstream neuronal enhancer (nPE1) and the deleted second neuronal enhancer (nPE2). Cre-mediated recombination removed the neo cassette and restored expression in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (Arc). (J:194013)
