| Genetic information | After cre recombinase-mediated deletion of the Cx31 (Gjb3) coding region, the point mutation Cx31-F137L is expressed under the control of the endogenous Cx31 promoter. One frt site between the two loxP sites is remaining in the genome, upon deletion of the frt sites-flanked neomycin-selection cassette. |
| Phenotypic information | Not in the loxP flanked state. After ubiquitous expression of Cx31-F137L, heterozygous mice have skin abnormalities and homozygous mice are not viable. |
| Breeding history | After blastocyst injection the chimeras were bred with C57BL/6NCrl to obtain brown offspring. This brown offspring was backcrossed once with flp recombinase deleter mice (nearly 100% C57BL/6NCrl) to delete the selection cassette and after that more than three times with C57BL/6NCrl. |
