Col1a1^{tm1.1(CAG-Sirt2)Jmi}

The SIRT2-Tg flox-STOP-flox construct was designed to insert (from 5' to 3') an FRT site, a CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG; from the pCAGGS vector), a loxP-flanked transcriptional STOP cassette, the mouse sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) cDNA sequence, and a PGK-hygro-polyA sequence (with a second FRT site between the PGK and hygro) into the 3' UTR of the mouse collagen A1 (Col1a1) locus. Cre mediated recombination removed the floxed STOP construct. (J:177468)
