| Cell line name | Melan-a Hm |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | melan-a Hm |
| Accession | CVCL_W079 |
| Resource Identification Initiative | To cite this cell line use: Melan-a Hm (RRID:CVCL_W079) |
| Comments | Characteristics: Transfected with a chimeric tyrosine-protein kinase receptor composed of extracellular part of human EGFR and the intracellular part of Xmrk. Stimulation of the chimera with EGF induces activation of the xmrk kinase domain. Genetic integration: Method=Transfection; Gene=HGNC; HGNC:3236; EGFR (Note=Extracellular domain). Genetic integration: Method=Transfection; Gene=UniProtKB; P13388; Xiphophorus maculatus Xmrk (Note=Intracellular domain). Derived from site: In situ; Trunk, skin; UBERON=UBERON_0001085. Cell type: Melanocyte of skin; CL=CL_1000458. |
