Feline Skeletal Muscle Cells

Description

Feline Skeletal Muscle Cells (FSMCs) are predominantly derived from skeletal muscle tissues in regions such as the limbs or tongue of cats. Morphologically, these cells exhibit a long spindle shape, grow adherently, and possess typical characteristics of skeletal muscle cells. They are capable of expressing α-actin. Functionally, FSMCs are responsible for voluntary movement and posture maintenance, and contribute to metabolic regulation. These cat cells play an important metabolic role through GLUT4-mediated glucose uptake and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, which is regulated by muscle-relevant pathways such as AMPK and PGC-1α to support energy production and metabolic adaptation in skeletal muscle cells. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.
