- Name: Melan-Usf1 cell line
- Organism: Mouse
- Tissue: Skin
- Morphology: Small, oval-fusiform
- Model: Immortalised non-cancerous cell lines
- Description: The melan-Usf1 cell line is an immortal melanocyte line derived from Usf-1 -/- mice. Upstream stimulating factor-1 (Usf-1) is involved in the regulation of ultraviolet-induced gene expression. This line may be useful for the study of the tanning response upon ultraviolet irradiation which has implications for the development of skin cancers.
- Application: Melanocyte cell biology
Applications
- Application: Melanocyte cell biology
Handling
- Growth medium: RPMI + FBS (10%) + TPA (200 nM) + cholera toxin (CT) (200 pM)
- Storage conditions: liquid N2
