RARβ Luciferase Reporter HEK293 Cell Line

Product Details

Synonyms	RAR beta, Retinoic acid receptor beta, RARB
Description	RARβ Luciferase Reporter HEK293 Cell Line is a HEK293 cell line engineered to express firefly luciferase, under the control of retinoic acid response elements, and with full length human RARb (accession #P10826-2). RARβ Luciferase Reporter HEK293 Cell Line is designed for monitoring the activity of RARb. This cell line was functionally validated by stimulation with all-trans retinoic acid.
Host Cell Line	HEK293, Human Embryonic Kidney, epithelial-like cells, adherent
Applications	• Monitor RARb-regulated pathway activity. • Screen for agonists or antagonists of RARb.
Supplied As	Each vial contains >1 x 106 cells in 1 mL of cell freezing medium
Materials Required But Not Supplied	Media Required for Cell Culture • Thaw Medium 6 • Growth Medium 6A Materials Used in the Cellular Assay • ATRA • Assay Medium 6A • 96-well tissue culture treated white clear-bottom assay plate • Luminometer
Biological Activity	This cell line is functionally validated for the response to the stimulation of all-trans retinoic acid. The expression of RARβ is confirmed by Western blotting.
UniProt	P10826-2
Mycoplasma Testing	The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
