SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameC57BL/6J-Tg(Slc6a4-cre)208Ito
Former Common name5HTT-Cre, Sert-Cre, SLC6A4-Cre
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell line
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentDeposited by Shigeyoshi Itohara, RIKEN Center for Brain Science. A BAC DNA construct was injected to fertilized eggs derived from C57BL/6J. Mice were maintained by crossing to C57BL/6J. C57BL/6 genetic background.
Strain descriptionA BAC transgenic mouse in which Cre recombinase is under the control of the Slc6a4 (solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, serotonin), member 4; 5Htt) gene promoter.
