Murine MET Expressing NIH3T3 Cell Lines
NIH 3T3 cell lines with various hepatocyte growth factor receptor or MET mutations using murine constructs.
MET or hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) is a protein involved in tyrosine kinase activity. MET is a single pass tyrosine kinase receptor that is essential for embryonic development, organogenesis and wound healing.

Comments
NOTE: These cell lines have not been sequence verified since 1997 and it is recommended that purchasing investigators should do so before beginning experiments.
- NIH3T3 cell line (ATCC#CRL-1658) was the original line used for transfection, which produces only 2 sactter units/ml HGF/SF, significantly lower than most NIH 3T3 sublines.
- The wild-type Met expression vector contains murine Met cDNA in the pMB1 expression vector (Park, M., Dean, M., Kaul, K., Braun, M. J., Gonda, M. A. & Vande Woude, G. F. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84, 63796383.) Mutations in wild type MET were introduced by site-directe mutagenesis. (ref 1 below).
- Nucleotides are numbered according to the scheme in GenBank Accession number J02958 with nucleotide (-194) in the cDNA (Park et al., 1987) given the number 1. Amino acids were numbered as in the reference by Park et al. (1987).
