C11093: Sonic hedgehog-responsive cell line that lacks functional Smoothened protein
Technical Details:
The material is a Sonic hedgehog-responsive cell line that lacks functional Smoothened protein. Smoothened is a major target of antineoplastic agents, which gives the cell line the commercial utility.
Looking for Partners:
The cell line can be used to test Smoothened function or to generate a mouse cell line that expresses only the human version of the Smoothened protein for drug screening.
