Product Overview
Description
Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) are primary endothelial cells derived from the umbilical vein. When engineered to express aequorin targeted to mitochondria, they become a powerful model for studying real-time mitochondrial calcium dynamics in vascular endothelium.
Aequorin is a bioluminescent calcium-sensitive protein that emits light upon binding Ca², allowing precise measurement of mitochondrial calcium flux without external dyes.
Guarantee expansion for a minimum of 2-5 population doublings.
IMPORTANT: Quality warranty requires use of NeoBioPharma media. Biohazardous material despite negative pathogen testing. Quality claims must be reported within 1 month.
