Human Umbillical Artery Smooth Muscle Cells from AcceGen are isolated from umbilical arteries, suitable for vascular biology, contraction, and remodeling.
Human Umbilical Artery Smooth Muscle Cells are primary cells derived from the smooth muscle layer of the umbilical artery. These cells are of mesenchymal origin and exhibit a spindle-shaped or elongated morphology. These cells produce extracellular matrix (ECM) components like collagen and elastin, contributing to vascular elasticity and mechanical strength, and they play a vital role in regulating vascular tone and blood flow through contractile activity, mediated by calcium-dependent signaling pathways. They express key SMC-specific markers, including alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), calponin, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC), and transgelin/SM22α, which are essential for their contractile function and structural integrity. The cells are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, syphilis, mycoplasma, fungi, yeast, and bacteria.

Human Umbilical Artery Smooth Muscle Cells are suitable for in vitro studies of vascular smooth muscle cell biology, including contractility, proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix production. They provide a well-characterized cellular model for investigating smooth muscle–associated structural and functional properties under controlled experimental conditions. These cells may be used to examine cellular responses to biochemical stimulation, mechanical cues, or environmental changes, as well as to evaluate signaling pathway activity and gene expression patterns related to smooth muscle physiology.
