Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human SMO Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which SMO receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human SMO Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human SMO (NM_005631.3). This cell line can be used to study SMO receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. Dividing-arrest cells are cells that are normally kept under specific culture conditions or treated with agents that prevent cell division from being held in a non-dividing state. This can be achieved through methods such as serum starvation, chemical inhibitors of cell cycle progression, or genetic modification.
Features
Well-characterized stable cell lines;
for cell-based high-throughput screening;
Low-cost evaluation of stable cell lines or limited quantities of compounds.
Applications
SMO receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions.

Background
The human smoothened homolog SMO strongly resembles that of the frizzled family of proteins, the receptors of the Wnt signaling pathway, which share several features with the Hedgehog pathway. Most often SMO functions during embryonic development, in processes such as digit patterning in the chick limb bud and left-right asymmetry of vertebrate embryos. In addition, SMO function is fundamental for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis in adults, and deregulated SMO signaling is implicated in tumorogenesis.
