Cell Line Description


Hepatocyte Cells


Components


1) ≥1X106 viable HSC-T6 Rat Hepatic Stellate Cells: (Catalog No. SCC069). Store in liquid nitrogen.


General description


Hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells play important roles in retinoid uptake, storage, mobilization and metabolism. Hepatic stellate cells represent only 5-7% of the total cells present in the liver. Isolation of primary stellate cells is thus time-consuming and often accompanied by low yields and considerable lot-to-lot variations. HSC-T6 Rat Hepatic Stellate Cell Line is an immortalized line isolated from SV40 large T-antigen transformed primary stellate cells of male Sprague-Dawley retired breeder rats. HSC-T6 Rat Hepatic Stellate Cell line is a useful model for the study of hepatic retinoid storage and metabolism.


Quality
