Gene Summary

Gene Symbol
Lgr5

Model Description

A EGFP-IRES-creERT2-WPRE-polyA expression cassette was knocked into the Lgr5 gene start codon site.
Research Application:Cre recombinase tool; Lgr5 marks stem cells in the stomach, small intestine, colon, and hair follicle, including  gastric epithelial stem cells, intestinal crypt cells and hair follicle stem cells.

Validation Data




Fig. 1 CreERT2-mediated recombination in the stomach of Lgr5CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. TdTomato(red) expression can be detected in the gastric mucosa and gastric crypt of Lgr5CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. EGFP(green) expression can not be observed.

TdTomato(red) expression can be detected in the mucous membrane epithelial cells and crypt cells of small intestine derived from Lgr5CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. EGFP(green) expression can not be observed.

TdTomato(red) expression can be detected in the mucous membrane epithelial cells and crypt cells of large intestine derived from Lgr5CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. EGFP(green) expression can not be observed.

Fig. 4 CreERT2-mediated recombination in the hair follicles of Lgr5CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. TdTomato(red) expression can be detected in the hair follicles and individual cells of subcutaneous tissue derived from Lgr5CreERT2 /+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mouse. EGFP(green) expression can not be observed.

Fig. 5 Detection of tdTomato(red) and GFP(green) in various tissues of Lgr5CreERT2/+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mice. CreERT2 mediated recombination can be detected in the glandular stomach, large intestine, small intestine and hair follicles. Some leakiness were detected prior to tamoxifen exposure. TdTomato expression can not be observed in the brain, pituitary gland, thymus, heart, lung, liver, submandibular gland, kidney, pancreas, testis, muscle and brown fat. EGFP expression can not be observed.(For more detailed information please contact our technical advisor.)
