AP-1 Luciferase Reporter-HEK293 Cell Line

The AP-1 Luciferase Reporter cell line is a stably transfected HEK 293 cell line which expresses Renilla luciferase reporter gene under the transcriptional control of the activator protein 1 (AP-1). The AP-1 transcription factors are homo- or  hetero-dimers that consist of proteins belonging to a group of structurally and functionally related members of the Jun family (c-Jun, JunB and JunD), the Fos (c-Fos, FosB, Fra-1 and Fra-2) and the subfamilies of ATF (ATFa, ATF-2 and ATF-3) and JDP (JDP-1 and JDP-2).  The AP-1 induction by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is shown in Figure 1.
