Per2-Luciferase knock-in mouse

http://msm.eagle-i.net/i/0000012c-7531-6e2c-d46d-9db180000000

Resource Description

This mouse expresses a fusion protein involving the circadian clock gene Period 2, and firefly luciferase. In the presence of the substrate luciferin, cultured tissue from this mouse emits light in proportion to the presence of Per2, dynamically over time. This is used as an index of circadian clock status in the tissue. Homozygous on a C57BL/6 background.
