PC-12 Lysates

PC12 is a cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of a male rat adrenal gland. PC12 cells are small, irregularly shaped cells that form as floating clusters with a few scattered attached cells in culture. PC12 cells are also suitable as a transfection host. With the addition of nerve growth factor to PC12 cells, they will stop dividing and terminally differentiate, making PC12 a useful model for neuronal differentiation.
