Tg(KRT14-cre)1Amc

The transgene is composed of a cre recombinase gene under the control of a human keratin 14 promoter. The human KRT14 promoter directs transgene expression in hair and skin. The transgene also contains a human growth hormone sequence and polyadenylation signal. When crossed to a transgenic reporter line, beta-galactosidase activity was detected in the oral ectoderm at 11.75 dpc, and at 14.5 dpc activity is detected in the skin and throughout the dental epithelium.
