Generation of Tas2r143-CreERT2 transgenic mice. (A) NanoString analysis of mRNA expression levels for bitter taste receptors in the murine heart. (n = 2, error bars represent mean ± SD). (B) The genomic sequence between the start codon of Tas2r143 and the stop codon of Tas2r126 (35.2 kb) on BAC RP23-316O11 was replaced by a cassette carrying the CreERT2 cDNA followed by a polyadenylation (pA) signal. (C,D) Offspring of transgenic mice was genotyped by genomic PCR with primers P1/P2 and P3/P4 identifying a 614 bp and a 418 bp fragment, respectively, which indicate the correctly inserted CreERT2.
