Gene Summary

Gene Symbol
Oxt

Model Description

A IRES-iCre expression cassette was knocked into the Oxt gene stop codon site.
Research Application:Cre recombinase tool; Oxt-IRES-Cre mice express Cre recombinase under the control of the endogenous oxytocin (Oxt) promoter. Cre recombinase is expressed in the brain. When crossed with a strain carrying a gene flanked by loxP sites, the flanked gene will be removed in neurons expressing oxytocin.

Fig. 3 Detection of tdTomato(red) in various tissues of OxtCre/+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mice. Cre mediated recombination can be detected in some cells of the brain, retina, pituitary gland, heart, lung, liver, salivary gland, brown fat, kidney, pancreas, intestine, colon, spleen, ovary, skeletal muscle, skin and thymus.
