HaCaT CAGA12-Luc/TK Renilla cell line
Invented by Caroline Hill at The Francis Crick Institute
Catalogue Number | 156438 |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | Activin and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signalling |
Parental Line | HEK293T cell line |
Host | Human |
Tissue | Kidney |
Model | Reporter |
Relevance | The human embryo kidney cell line HEK293T modified for use as a reporter cell line for Activin and TGF-beta signalling. The cell line stably expresses CAGA12-Luc, a Smad3/Smad4-dependent reporter containing 12 copies of the CAGAC sites (AGAC motif underlined) from the PAI-1 promoter. This is a Smad3/Smad4-dependent reporter, although it also binds complexes of Smad2 exon 3 with Smad4. The cell line also contains a Renilla reporter driven by the thymidine kinase (TK) promoter to act as an internal control. |
Production Details |
Made by transfecting the human embryo kidney cell line HEK293T with CAGA12-Luc with pRetroSuper for puromycin resistance and then TK Renilla with pCMV-Bsd for blasticidin resistance. Pool |
Conditional Description | In the presence of activin and TGF-beta signalling luciferase is expressed. |
Research Area | Cancer, Cell Signaling & Signal Transduction, Developmental Biology |
Recommended Growing Conditions | Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) |
