|---|---|
| Accession | CVCL_E8G3 |
| Resource Identification Initiative | To cite this cell line use: S2-LiveDropGFP-M4 (RRID:CVCL_E8G3) |
| Comments | Group: Insect cell line. Characteristics: Transfected with LiveDrop, a sensitive probe used to identify the earliest steps of lipid droplet formation. LiveDrop contains the membrane hairpin domain (AA 160-216) of Gpat4 fused to eGFP (PubMed=35274690). Genetic integration: Method=Transfection; Gene=FlyBase_Gene; FBgn0034971; Gpat4 (Note=With p.Met1_Arg159del and p.Leu217_Thr458del = 160-216). Genetic integration: Method=Transfection; Gene=FPbase; R9NL8; eGFP (Note=Enhanced GFP). Derived from site: In situ; Whole embryo; UBERON=UBERON_0000922. |
