Immortalized Adult Mouse Coagulating Gland Cells (INK4 -/- CG) | T0656

abm | Immortalized Adult Mouse Coagulating Gland Cells (INK4 -/- CG) | T0656

INK4aand p19^ARF. Both p16^INK4aand p19^ARF are specific inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases Cdk4 and Cdk6 that regulate cell cycle progression. The cells were isolated from the anterior prostate (AP), also known as the coagulating gland (CG), which has a unique cuboidal to columnar epithelium that has many mucosal folds projecting into the gland lumen. The lumen contains abundant eosinophilic secretions from the luminal secretory cells in the epithelium. This cell line is a useful model for studying the prostate stroma-epithelium signalling way, which plays an important role in prostate development and cancer progression.
