Slco1c1-2A-CreERT2

2A-CreERT2 expression cassette was knocked into the Slco1c1 gene stop codon site. Slco1c1 encodes a member of the organic anion transporter family. The encoded protein is a transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of thyroid hormones in brain tissues. This protein has particularly high affinity for the thyroid hormones thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine. When Slco1c1-2A-CreERT2 mice are bred with mice containing loxP-flanked sequence, tamoxifen-inducible, Cre-mediated recombination will result in deletion of the floxed sequences in SLCO1C1 positive cells.

Fig. 2 Labeling was also observed in the retina, muscles, but not in pituitary, heart, lungs, stomach, submandibular gland, brown fat, kidney, pancreas, small and large intestine, spleen, skin, ovaries and uterus.（For more information please contact: 400-728-0660.）
