Quick Overview

Human melanoma cell line with known mutations in NRAS and BRAF.

Detailed Summary

Mel JuSo is a human melanoma cell line derived from a primary tumor. It is characterized by specific genetic mutations in NRAS and BRAF, which are frequently associated with melanoma progression. These mutations may contribute to the malignant phenotype and could be potential targets for therapeutic interventions. The cell line is used in research to study the molecular mechanisms of melanoma development and to test drug responses. It is also utilized in studies related to the role of specific genetic alterations in cancer biology.
