| Description | CD BioSciences' human bladder smooth muscle cells maintain the expression of smooth muscle myosin and alpha-actin |
| Tissue/Organ/Organ System | Renal |
| Size | 5*105 cells/1.0 ml |
| Species | Human |
| Shipping Info | Dry Ice |
| Quality Control | Immunofluorescence, RT-PCR and Western blotting are used to confirm the presence of smooth muscle markers such as α-SM actin, N and C-terminal MHC isotypes (SM-A, SM-B, SM1 and SM2), SM22 and h- Caldesmond. |
| Storage Conditions | Liquid Nitrogen |
| Growth Properties | Adherent |
| Categories | Primary Cells |
| Applications | For research only. The Human Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle Cell is unique in its 1. Ability to contract upon exposure to 10uM bethanechol and the contraction is reversible by washing away the drug; 2. First known established smooth muscle cell line to express both N- and C- terminal smooth muscle myosin isoforms. |
| Cell Morphology | Elongated with tapered ends |
| Donor Disease | Normal |
| Donor Gender | Female |
| Expression Profile | Myosin isoforms (N-terminal isoforms SM-A/B and C-terminal isoforms SM1/2), SM22, alpha-smooth muscle actin, h-caldesmon, Ca+2-dependent myosin light chain kinase, and protein kinase G |
