The Mouse Slc7a9 gene, also known as xCT, encodes a subunit of the cystine-glutamate antiporter system xc(-). This transporter plays a critical role in the regulation of intracellular glutathione levels and the maintenance of redox balance. It is involved in the uptake of cystine, which is then used to synthesize glutathione, an important antioxidant. The Slc7a9 gene is highly expressed in various tissues, including the liver, and its dysregulation has been associated with diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders. The HEK293 cell line, derived from human embryonic kidney cells, has been engineered to stably express the Mouse Slc7a9 gene. This stable cell line serves as an excellent model for studying the function of xCT in cellular redox balance and its role in disease pathogenesis. Researchers can use this cell line to investigate the effects of Slc7a9 expression on cellular stress responses, its interaction with other antioxidants, and its potential as a therapeutic target for diseases where redox balance is disrupted.
The Mouse Slc7a9 Stable Cell Line - HEK293 is a cell line engineered to express the Slc7a9 gene from mice, which encodes for the large neutral amino acid transporter (LAT1). This transporter is involved in the uptake of amino acids, which are essential for protein synthesis and cell growth. The applications of this cell line include: (1)Cancer Research: LAT1 is often overexpressed in various types of cancer cells, making it a potential target for cancer therapy. This cell line can be used to study the role of LAT1 in tumor growth and to test the efficacy of drugs that target this transporter. (2)Drug Development: Researchers can use the Mouse Slc7a9 Stable Cell Line to screen for compounds that inhibit LAT1 activity, which could lead to the development of new cancer treatments. This cell line provides a platform for understanding the transport mechanisms of amino acids and their role in cellular metabolism. (3)Metabolism Studies: The expression of LAT1 allows for the investigation of amino acid metabolism and the role of this transporter in the regulation of cellular nutrient uptake. This can contribute to the understanding of metabolic disorders and the development of therapies for conditions such as obesity and diabetes.
Customer Q&As
What is the origin of the Mouse Slc7a9 Stable Cell Line - HEK293, and how was it established?

A: The Mouse Slc7a9 Stable Cell Line - HEK293 was derived from mouse tissues and established by transfecting the Slc7a9 gene into HEK293 (Human Embryonic Kidney 293) cells. HEK293 cells are a widely used human embryonic kidney cell line in biomedical research.
