Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293-Tg(Human TetR) stable cell line which the TetR gene stably expressed in HEK293 cells.
Description
HEK293-Tg(Human TetR) stable cell line is a type of cell line that has been engineered to express the human tetracycline repressor protein (TetR). TetR is a transcriptional repressor that binds to the tetracycline operator sequence and regulates gene expression. These cells can be used in research to study gene expression and regulation, as well as to induce or repress the expression of specific genes in response to tetracycline or its derivatives.
Features
Consistent gene expression;
Reliability and reproducibility;
Applications
Functional assay
Protein Target
TetR
Species
Human
Parental Cell Line
HEK293
Background
The TetR gene is a bacterial gene that encodes for a transcription factor known as Tet repressor. This protein plays a crucial role in regulating the expression of genes that are involved in resistance to tetracycline antibiotics. The TetR protein binds to specific DNA sequences, called operator sequences, and prevents the transcription of genes that confer resistance to tetracycline. In molecular biology and biotechnology, the TetR gene is often used as a tool for gene regulation and expression control. By using TetR-based systems, researchers can turn gene expression on or off in response to the presence or absence of tetracycline or its derivatives.
