RIN-5F

Catalog No.: PC0018


Description

RIN-5F is a secondary clone of the rat islet tumor cell line RIN-m (Sigma catalog number 95071701). Cloning was performed by limiting dilution in RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, and 20% conditioned medium. Conditioned medium contains growth hormone and prolactin produced by rat pituitary tumor cells GH3. RIN-5F cells secrete insulin, produce high levels of the key APUD enzyme, and contain membrane-bound secretory granules.
