These cells produce and secrete islet polypeptide hormones, and produce L-dopa-decarboxylase (a marker for cells having amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation, or APUD, activity).
The RIN-m cell line was cloned into two other lines: RIN-5F (ATCC CRL-2058 ) and RIN-14B ((ATCC CRL-2059 ). RIN-5F produces only insulin and RIN-14B produces only somatostatin. |
