Rat Small Intestinal Smooth Muscle Cells

Description

Rat Small Intestinal Smooth Muscle Cells are derived from rat small intestinal tissue. Smooth muscle cells are contractile cells responsible for regulating intestinal motility and maintaining gastrointestinal function. Following primary isolation and culture, these cells are cryopreserved for research purposes. Small intestinal smooth muscle cells participate in peristalsis, contractile signaling, and regulation of gut physiology. These cells have been reported to express smooth muscle-associated markers such as α-SMA, calponin, and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain. In vitro, the cells display adherent growth and exhibit elongated spindle-shaped morphology. Rat small intestinal smooth muscle cells are commonly used in gastrointestinal motility studies, pharmacological screening, smooth muscle physiology, and digestive disease research. 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.
