This transgene encodes tau-linked-LacZ under the control of a minimal promoter comprised of 143 base pairs upstream of the <i>Olfr713</i> transcription start site and 163 base pairs of the 5' nontranslated exon 1.  It does not drive expression of any olfactory receptor sequence.  It is useful in mapping promoter elements important for olfactory receptor expression and the related olfactory sensory neuron development.  Histology shows mosaic expression of LacZ in the ventral main olfactory epithelium.

Use of MICE by companies or for-profit entities requires a license prior to shipping.

These mice carry a transgene that encodes tau-linked-LacZ under the control of a minimal promoter upstream of the <i>Olfr713</i> transcription start site. LacZ is expressed in place of any olfactory receptor sequence.

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