C57BL/6J-Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)2Sand/J

Stock Number: 008661

C57BL/6J-Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)2Sand/J males were mated to female Rosa 26 reporters (stock no 3474).  Reporter (β-galactosidase) expression is expected in brain interneuron progenitors, developing lung, thyroid, and pituitary by the Nkx2.1 promoter/enhancer regions. Primary Reference.

β-galactosidase expression was assayed for E10.5 and E15.5 whole embryos, and P7 and Adult adipose, brain, bone, epididymis, eye, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, lymph node, muscle, ovary, pancreas, skin, spinal cord, spleen, testes, thymus, and uterus.

C57BL/6J-Tg(Nkx2-1-cre)2Sand/J recombinase activity data also available in MGI Creportal.
