Transgene description

• Transgene Type: Transgenic (Recombinase)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Tg(Lcn5-cre)1Ylzh expression driven by 1 gene
  Transgene expression driven by:
  

  Organism	Driver Gene	Note
  Not Specified	Lcn5

• Mutation details: A vector was generated in which the cre recombinase sequence is driven by the 1.8 kb promoter of Lcn5. Male C57BL/6 pronuclei of fertilized oocytes were microinjected with the linearized vector. 11 founders were identified by PCR, but only 1 line exhibited cre recombinase expression specifically in the caput epididymis. (J:194481)
