B-Ucp1-iCre mice
Strain Name

C57BL/6-Ucp1tm1(icre)Bcgen/Bcgen

Stock No.  110134
Common name

B-Ucp1-iCre mice

Gene symbol and name  Ucp1(uncoupling protein 1), Ucp; Slc25a7; AL385626
Strain of origin

C57BL/6

Chromosome  8
Coat color Black Dietary information Growth and reproduction diet for experimental mice
NCBI Gene ID
22227

Application

  • Function research of genes
  • This Ucp1iCre model is an efficient tool to study various gene functions when crossed with mice with different loxP site-flanked genes of interest, especially in studies of the balance of ATP synthesis and thermogenesis in the mitochondria of brown adipose.

Expression


Expressed gene

iCre, improved cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1


Site of expression

the brown adipose tissue, adrenal adult, mammary gland adult


Gene editing strategy


from clipboard


A An IRES-iCre sequence cassette was placed between the coding sequence of exon 6 and 3’UTR of the Ucp1 gene using C57BL/6 embryonic stem cells. Neo cassette flanked by frt sites was inserted at least 300 bp downstream of 3’UTR. This strain was maintained on a C57BL/6 genetic background.


Phenotype Analysis


from clipboard


(B and C) In the virgin stage of the Ucp1-Cre-ROSAmTmG mice, the interscapular BAT was stained for mammary markers KRT14 and KRT8. (DeG) During lactation, Ucp1-GFP cells contain mammary basal myoepithelial markers KRT14 and KRT5 in the dorsal region of the anterior mammary gland (D and E) and the posterior mammary gland (F and G).
