## Abstract To study the physiological control of osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells, we generated transgenic mice carrying the Cre recombinase gene driven by either the tartrateβresistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) or cathepsin K (Ctsk) promoters. TRAPβCre and CtskβCre transgenic mouse lines were

## Abstract Summary: We report a transgenic mouse line that expresses Cre recombinase exclusively in podocytes. Twentyβ four transgenic founders were generated in which Cre recombinase was placed under the regulation of a 2.5βkb fragment of the human NPHS2 promoter. Previously, this fragment was sh
## Abstract A transgenic mouse line that expresses Cre recombinase under control of the human thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene promoter was established. The activity and specificity of the TPOβdriven Cre recombinase were examined by using Northern blotting and by crossing with the ROSA26 reporter tran
Genes expressed in skeletal muscle are often required in other tissues. This is particularly the case for cardiac and smooth muscle, both contractile tissues that share numerous characteristics with skeletal muscle, such that targeted inactivation can lead to embryonic lethality prior to a requireme
