Mouse hepatocytes have polygonal morphology, perform albumin production, bile formation, and metabolism, used for liver toxicity and metabolism studies.
Mouse hepatocytes are primary liver cells isolated from murine liver tissue. These hepatocytes exhibit polygonal morphology, form tight monolayers in adherent culture, and display typical cellular polarity, including distinct apical and basolateral domains. Functionally, mouse hepatocytes perform key hepatic roles such as albumin production, urea synthesis, bile canaliculi formation, and cytochrome P450 enzyme activity. These cells also express liver-specific transporters and receptors, allowing investigation of xenobiotic metabolism, drug-induced liver injury, and lipid/glucose metabolism. Karyotypic analysis confirms a normal diploid murine genome, and they are confirmed to express high levels of albumin, CYP enzymes, and transport proteins such as Oatp1 and Mrp2. These cells are non-transformed with limited passage capacity, and cryopreserved at early passages to preserve native hepatic functionality.

Mouse hepatocytes are integral to a wide range of preclinical and basic research applications. They provide a cost-effective and accessible model for studying liver-specific functions. Their relevance is particularly significant in drug development and toxicology studies, where they are used to assess hepatotoxicity, drug metabolism, and safety profiles. As primary hepatocytes, they serve as a robust ex vivo alternative, supporting translational research in liver biology, disease modeling, and pharmacokinetics.
