Product description: The human embryo kidney cell line HEK293T modified for use as a reporter cell line for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling. The cell line stably expresses BMP responsive element (BRE)-Luciferase. The cell line also contains a Renilla reporter driven by the thymidine kinase (TK) promoter to act as an internal control. BMP is a transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily member.
Conditional description: Luciferase is expressed in the presence of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling
