PharmaOnco™ HEK293T-Tg(Human MC1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell, Single Clone

Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human MC1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which MC1 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.

HEK293T-Tg(Human MC1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human MC1 (NM_002386.3). This cell line can be used to study MC1 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. Dividing-arrest cells are cells that are normally kept under specific culture conditions or treated with agents that prevent cell division from being held in a non-dividing state. This can be achieved through methods such as serum starvation, chemical inhibitors of cell cycle progression, or genetic modification.

Well-characterized stable cell lines;
for cell-based high-throughput screening;
Low-cost evaluation of stable cell lines or limited quantities of compounds.

The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), also known as melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor (MSHR) or melanotropin receptor, is a seven transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor expressed on the surface of melanocytes MC1 receptors binds to a class of pituitary peptide hormones known as melanocortins. Binding of melanocortins to five subtypes of melanocortin receptors exert a large array of central and peripheral effects. MC1R is one of the key proteins expressed in skin and hair and hair color. Activation of MC1R by agonist stimulates the synthesis of eumelanin by a process melanogenesis, primarily activating adenylate cyclase. MC1R has a potential role in anti-inflammatory and melanoma treatment. Further studies of the MC1 receptor are essential in gaining a better understanding of the mechanism and in vivo regulation of pigmentation and anti-inflammatory functions.

Creative Biolabs provides sterility testing in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.

Identity testing is required for newly established cell lines. Isoenzyme analysis is used to confirm the identity of the species of a cell line. Alternative methods for identity testing include DNA fingerprinting, STR analysis and karyology.

A broad range of viruses is susceptible to affecting human cell lines. We can provide in vivo/vitro virus safety assays by utilizing various animal systems. These viruses include: adventitious viruses, bovine viruses, human and simian viruses, porcine viruses, retrovirus and rodent viruses.

We perform cell genetic stability studies under ICH guidelines. We can provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.

The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.

Dry Ice

Frozen cells should be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank (-150°C~-190°C). After thawing, cells should be immediately transferred to the appropriate culture medium and maintained under recommended culture conditions.

Frozen cells should be thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure to ensure cell viability and proper assay performance.
Note: Do not freeze the cells upon receipt as it may result in irreversible damage to the cell line.
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee cell viability if the cells are not thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure.

Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

All of our stable cell lines meet the highest quality standards and have been confirmed to be pathogen-free.
