Abstract
Functional analysis of mammalian genes relies, in part, on targeted mutations generated by homologous recombination in mice. We have developed a strategy for adipose-specific inactivation of loxP-floxed gene segments. Transgenic mice have been established that express Cre recombinase under the control of the adipose-specific aP2 enhancer/promoter. Crossing of the aP2/ Cre mice with any loxP-floxed gene will facilitate its functional analysis in adipose tissue.Entities:
