Abstract excerpt
Background: The Myh11 promoter is extensively used as a smooth muscle cell (SMC) Cre-driver and is regarded as the most restrictive and specific promoter available to study SMCs. Unfortunately, in the existing Myh11-CreER T2 mouse, the transgene was inserted on the Y chromosome precluding the study of female mice.
