Strain descriptionTransgene composed of regulatory sequences of mouse aMHC promoter and rat Kv3.1 (Kcnc1) and the gene for the calcium sensor GCaMP2. GCaMP2: Ca2+-sensing GCaMP2 protein consist of M13 segment of myosin light chain kinase from chicken, Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from jelly fish, and calmodulin from rat (Eur J Neurosci. 2005 Aug;22(3):627-35). There are 5 lines of aMHCA-GcaMP2 tansgenic mice (RBRC04743, RBRC04744, RBRC04745, RBRC04746, RBRC04747). The heart condition of the aMHCA-GcaMP2 mice differs from line to line. Dependent on the expression level, some lines exhibit some heart hypertrophy. Line #4 (RBRC04743): Expression level is low to medium. Homozygous mice are fertile. Line #14 (RBRC04744): Expression level is medium. Hypertrophic heart. Homozygous mice are fertile. Line #29 (RBRC04745): Expression might be mosaic (varying penetrance?). Homozygous mice are fertile. Line #53 (RBRC04746): Strong expression. Viability and reproductive capacity of homozygote is unknown. Line #60 (RBRC04747): Very strong expression. So far no surviving (2 months <) (homozygote).
Colony maintenanceCarrier x NoncarrierThe different lines have different levels of GCamP2 expression. Dependent on the expression level, some lines exhibit some heart hypertrophy. These mice are fertile but might not reach ages over 3-4 months.
