γ-secretase Deficient E-Cre-ERT2 Stable Expressing Rat1 (AD6 Clone 1) Cell Line | T6170

abm | γ-secretase Deficient E-Cre-ERT2 Stable Expressing Rat1 (AD6 Clone 1) Cell Line | T6170

This rat cell line expresses a chimeric molecule containing a Δ E-like fragment of Notch1 fused to a vesicular stomatitis virus epitope, the Cre recombinase, and a modified hormone binding domain of the estrogen receptor. The delivery of Cre recombinase depends on any event, including γ-secretase processing, that releases the intracellular domain of Notch1 from the membrane. Nuclear activity of the Cre-ER-T2 chimera depends on the presence of tamoxifen. This cell line was derived from clones deficient in γ-secretase activity, thus displaying impaired activity on Notch. Reporter construct for the recombinase activity consists of an antibiotic resistance gene (hygromycin). This cell line would be well-suited for research regarding the functions of the Notch receptor, γ-secretase enzyme activity, and their involvement in cellular signalling.
