Strain Name:C57BL/6Smoc-Opn4em1(Cre-WPRE-polyA)Smoc
Strain State:Repository Live | Cat. NO.:NM-KI-200304
Cre-WPRE-polyA expression cassette was knocked into the Opn4 gene start codon site.
The melanopsin gene (Opn4) encodes a functional photopigment. When crossed with a strain carrying a gene flanked by loxP sites, the flanked gene will be removed in cells expressing cre. This strain may be useful for studying circadian rhythm regulation.
