Tamoxifen‐inducible Cre‐mediated recombination in adipocytes
16 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
To generate a mouse line which allows inducible, Cre/loxP-dependent recombination in adipocytes, we used RedE/RedT-mediated recombineering to insert the CreER(T)²-transgene, which encodes a fusion protein of Cre and a mutated tamoxifen-responsive estrogen receptor, into the start codon of the adipocyte-specific Adipoq gene. Adipoq encodes adiponectin, an adipokine specifically expressed in differentiated...
