Description

PAI-1 Reporter (Luc)-Mv1 Lu cell line is designed for monitoring transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)-induced plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a potent regulator of cellular differentiation, proliferation, migration, and protein expression.

PAI-1 Reporter (Luc) –Mv1 Lu cell line contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of PAI-1 responsive elements stably integrated into Mv1 Lu (NBL-7) cells, showing TGF-β pathway response. This cell line is validated for the TGF-β response to the induction of PAI-1 gene expression through luciferase activity.

Interested in screening and profiling inhibitors, blocking antibodies, or activators of TGF-β signaling without the need to purchase and license the cell line? Check out our Cell Signaling Pathway Screening.

Purchase of this cell line is for research purposes only; commercial use requires a separate license. View the full terms and conditions.
