Description

Rat Hepatocytes are primary parenchymal cells isolated from rat liver tissue. These hepatocytes are responsible for the majority of metabolic, detoxification, and synthetic functions within the liver. These large, polygonal epithelial cells exhibit strong adherence, prominent nuclei, and abundant cytoplasmic organelles. They express key liver-specific markers such as albumin, cytochrome P450 enzymes, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), and transthyretin. Rat hepatocytes maintain high metabolic activity in vitro and can be used to perform phase I and phase II drug metabolism assays. For optimal performance and consistency, repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided. They are non-proliferative / terminally differentiated. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

Application

  • Rat Hepatocytes are widely utilized in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) studies, hepatotoxicity screening, and liver disease research. They provide a robust model for assessing enzyme induction, xenobiotic biotransformation, and bile acid metabolism. These cells are also indispensable for studying non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), viral hepatitis, and liver regeneration, and serve as a cell type in in vitro liver function assays, and co-culture systems with hepatic stellate or Kupffer cells.
