| Synonyms | MDCK AcpA |
| Accession | CVCL_ZV91 |
| Resource Identification Initiative | To cite this cell line use: MDCK Actin-cpstFRET-Actin (RRID:CVCL_ZV91) |
| Comments | Characteristics: Used to report forces in actin in living cells. Has one actin molecule attached on each end of cpstFRET. The cpstFRET (circularly permuted stretch sensitive FRET) sensor consists of a pair of tandemly connected circularly permutated CFP/YFPs (cpCerulean/cpVenus). Mechanical loading twists the dipole orientation from near parallel to diagonal, decreasing FRET efficiency. Transfected with: HGNC; 132; ACTB. Derived from site: In situ; Kidney; UBERON=UBERON_0002113. Cell type: Epithelial cell of kidney; CL=CL_0002518. |
