Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells from AcceGen are isolated from tissue of 1-day-old neonatal laboratory Sprague–Dawley Rats.
Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells (RMECs) are primary epithelial cells derived from mammary gland tissue of 1-day-old neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats. These cells exhibit a typical cobblestone-like epithelial morphology and adherent growth pattern and play important roles in mammary gland development and epithelial function. RMECs express epithelial markers including E-cadherin, CK18 and ZO-1. To ensure the quality of these primary cells, repeated freeze-thaw cycles are not recommended due to the fragile nature of these cells. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells, also known as primary rat mammary epithelial cells, represent a key model of murine breast epithelium for in vitro studies of mammary gland biology, breast cancer, and lactation physiology. Their hormone-responsive nature makes them ideal for investigating the roles of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin in mammary development and differentiation. They are widely used in toxicology to assess the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on mammary tissue, particularly in evaluating compounds that may influence breast cancer risk or lactation disorders.
