Hprt1^{tm10(Ple162-EGFP/cre)Ems}

The Ple162-EGFPCre transgene (pEMS1148) was designed with the 3636 bp Ple162 minipromoter (PITX3-D; derived from an intronic candidate regulatory region and a segment of the human paired-like homeodomain 3 (PITX3) promoter) upstream of a minimal F5 mutant-frt site, an EGFP/Cre fusion protein (enhanced green fluorescent protein (with mutated stop) and Cre recombinase), a nuclear localization signal, a second minimal frt site, an SV40 early polyA signal, and a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon1, intron1, exon2, and part of intron2).
