Fusing a kinase domain to a homodimerization domain such as the PNT domain of ETV6 can result in activated kinase. The MuSK Stable Ba/F3 Cell Line expresses activated MuSK tyrosine kinase that is linked to a GFP reporter (GFP-ETV6-MUSK). Even though this cell line expresses activated tyrosine, it is non-transforming, meaning that the cells still require IL-3 to grow.MuSK is important in forming and maintaining neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the synapse between neuron and skeletal muscle; this includes actin cytoskeleton reorganization and acetylcholine receptor (AChR) placement in the postsynaptic membrane. Additionally, MUSK has been suggested to be involved in central nervous system functions such as memory formation and synaptic plasticity. This cell line is valuable to study the functions of the MuSK receptor.

The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.
