General description

Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details.

HUASMC has been used to study effects of snake venom on smooth muscle cells (Mora, 2008); secretion mechanism of the (pro)renin receptor (Yoshikawa, 2011) and the role of proteasomes (Martin, 2014) in the development of cardiovascular diseases; and to develop novel material surfaces to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation at the same time allowing endothelial cells adhesion and proliferation in order to reduce risk associated with vascular implants (Kanie, 2012). Characterization: positive for smooth muscle cell specific alpha-actin expression.
