Caco-2 Cell Line

The Caco-2 Cell Line is a well-characterized human epithelial cell line derived from colorectal tissue, widely used in cell biology, molecular biology, and permeability research. These cells are known for their ability to differentiate into enterocyte-like monolayers, making them an essential model for in vitro intestinal barrier and transport studies.

Key Features:

• Species: Human
• Tissue Origin: Colorectal epithelium
• Cell Type: Epithelial
• Forms polarized monolayers with tight junctions
• Ideal for molecular biology, biochemistry, and transport mechanism research

Applications:

• In vitro intestinal permeability and absorption studies
• Molecular and cellular biology research
• Transporter and barrier function assays
• Protein and gene expression analysis

Storage & Handling:

Store and maintain under standard cell culture conditions. Use sterile techniques and handle according to recommended biosafety procedures.
