PC-12 Rat Adrenal Pheochromocytoma Cell Line (Undifferentiated)

Introduction

The PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line is derived from a transplantable pheochromocytoma of a male rat and belongs to a neuroendocrine-origin cell line. In the undifferentiated state, the cells are typically round, oval, or polygonal in shape and often grow in clusters with relatively weak adherence. Compared with primary neurons, which are difficult to isolate, difficult to purify, short-lived, and unable to be passaged, PC-12 cells are easy to culture, relatively stable, and can be passaged continuously.

OriCell™ PC-12 Rat Adrenal Pheochromocytoma Cell Line (Undifferentiated) is widely used in studies of neuronal differentiation, neural signal transduction, and neurotoxicology.
