Strain Name:C57BL/6Smoc-Myf5em1(Cre-WPRE-polyA)Smoc
Strain State:Repository Live | Cat. NO.:NM-KI-200147
Validation Data:Presence
A Cre-WPRE-polyA expression cassette was knocked into the Myf5 gene start codon site.
Myogenic factor 5 (Myf5) belongs to the MRF family transcription factors that regulate myogenesis. It is expressed in the skeletal muscle and satellite cells. Severe loss of skeletal muscle following ablation of Myf5-expressing progenitors. This strain is useful in studying the differentiation of skeletal muscle.
