Product description: 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.
Conditional: Yes
Conditional description: In the presence of activin and TGF-beta signalling luciferase is expressed.
Production details: Generated by co‑transfecting HEK293T cells with CAGA12‑Luc and TK‑Renilla constructs together with pRetroSuper for puromycin resistance. Selection is performed using puromycin (1 µg/ml).
