Quick Overview

Human thyroid cancer cell line with known mutations and applications in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

FTC-133 is a human thyroid cancer cell line derived from follicular thyroid carcinoma. It is widely used in research for studying thyroid cancer mechanisms and drug development. The cell line has been characterized for mutations in genes such as TERT, BRAF, and TP53, which are relevant to cancer progression. FTC-133 is also utilized in studies involving cell line authentication, genetic profiling, and understanding tumor biology. Its applications include investigating the role of specific mutations in cancer development and evaluating therapeutic strategies.
