Gene Summary

Gene Symbol
Acan

Model Description

A IRES-CreERT2 expression cassette was knocked into the Acan gene stop codon site via CRISPR/Cas9 mediated recombination.
Research Application:Cre recombinase tool; When crossed with mice carrying a targeted floxed alleles, this strain is useful in eliminating tissue-specific conditional expression of the gene. These mice could be used to study degenerative cartilage diseases such as osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease.

Fig. 2 Detection of tdTomato(red) in various tissues of AcanCreERT2/+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mice. Cre mediated recombination can be detected in the growth plate and articular cartilage after tamoxifen treatment. Tdtomato expression can be also detected in individual cells derived from the brown fat, spleen, testis, skin, skeletal muscle and cardiac valves. Tdtomato expression can not be detected in the brain, thymus, retina, lung, liver, stomach, submandibular gland, kidney, pancreas, intestine, colon, skin and myocardium.
