Abstract excerpt
A mouse model that mediates temporal, specific, and efficient myocardial deletion with Cre-LoxP technology will be a valuable tool to determine the function of genes during heart formation. Mhy6 encodes a cardiac muscle specific protein: alpha-myosin heavy chain. Here, we generated a new Myh6-MerCreMer (Myh6(MerCreMer/+)) inducible Cre knock-in mouse by inserting a MerCreMer cassette into the Myh6 start codon. By...
