Depositor Comments

The CRE-ER(TM) protein requires tamoxifen (TM) to catalyze LoxP site-mediated excision.

The RIP–CreER construct was generated by fusing a 0.66-kilobase SmaI–HindIII fragment of the RIP2 promoter to a minimal hsp68 promoter, and placing the chimaeric promoter upstream of CreER(TM).
