Research Application:
Description:
This tamoxifen-inducible Slc17a6-CreERT2 tool mouse model was established by inserting a 2A-CreERT2-WPRE-polyA co-expression cassette into the stop codon of Slc17a6 gene.
Validation Data

Figure 1: Expression Pattern of Tomato in Slc17a6-CreERT2 +/-; R26- tdTomato+/- mice.
CreERT2-mediated recombination in excitatory glutamatergic neuron cell bodies of Slc17a6-CreERT2+/-; R26-tdTomato+/- mice. Slc17a6-CreERT2 mice may be used to generate conditional mutations for studying gain-or-loss of function and/or fate mapping related to glutamatergic neurons.
