Gt(ROSA)26Sor^{tm3.2(CAG-EGFP,-CHRM3*/mCherry/Htr2a)Pjen}

The allele has a CAG hybrid promoter,a rox-flanked His3-SV40 transcriptional STOP cassette, an FRT-flanked STOP cassette and a variant lox-flanked region containing an eGFP cassette, an inverted hM3Dq/mCherry fusion protein, WPRE, polyA signal and an attB/attP-flanked PGK-frt-Neo-polyA cassette all inserted into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. The inverted hM3Dq-mCherry-2ACT88 fusion protein cDNA sequence contains (hM3Dq DREADD) a red fluorescent protein mCherry and the final 264 coding nucleotides of the rat Htr2A gene (encoding a C-terminal epitope that mediates localization to the cell body/soma and dendrites). PhiC31-mediated recombination removed the AttB/AttP-flanked neo sequence. Dre-mediated recombination removed the rox-flanked STOP cassette. (J:235493)
