Catalogue Number | 151715 |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | ULK1 |
Host | Mouse |
Tissue | Embryo |
Disease Keywords | Cancer, neurodegeneration, infectious disease |
Model | Knock-Out |
Relevance | The MEF ULK1 KO (SIM) cell line can be used to study ULK1-dependent processes, including autophagy. A more complete phenotype requires depletion of ULK2 by RNAi . Mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from a ULK1 homozygous knock out mouse embryo and immortalized by serial passaging (spontaneous transformation). |
Production Details | Primary embryonic fibroblasts were isolated from the embryos of a pregnant female Ulk1-/- mouse at day 13p.c. The MEFs were immortalised by SIM using a standard serial passaging protocol. |
