This is a transgenic line in which Cre recombinase expression is controlled by the regulatory sequences from the mouse zona pellucida 3 (Zp3) gene, which is normally expressed exclusively in the growing oocyte prior to the completion of the first meiotic division. This strain is useful for deleting a loxP-flanked genomic segment during oogenesis and thereby producing embryos and offspring that bear the recombined and deleted genomic element(s).

Cre recombinase expression in these mice is controlled by the zona pellucida 3 (Zp3) gene and is expressed in oocytes.

Typically mice are recovered in 12-16 weeks. Contact Customer Service to place an order or for more information.
