Abstract excerpt
To explore the function of genes expressed in adult mouse nociceptive neurons, we generated heterozygous knock-in mice expressing the tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase construct CreERT2 downstream of the Na(V)1.8 promoter. CreERT2 encodes a Cre recombinase (Cre) fused to a mutant estrogen ligand-binding domain (ERT2) that requires the presence of tamoxifen for activity. We have previously shown that...
