Tg(BGLAP-cre)1Clem

A human osteocalcin (BGLAP) promoter, driving expression in osteoblasts, fused to a cre recombinase gene was used for the transgene. The cre gene was modified to include a nuclear localization signal and human ACTB 3' untranslated region. Two lines were generated, 4 and 6. This allele represents line 6. Transgene expression was observed in the calvaria, femur, and vertebrae by Northern blot analysis. (J:80190)
