title: Characterization of A7r5 cell line transfected in a stable form by hSSAO/VAP-1 gene (A7r5 hSSAO/VAP-1 cell line).
abstract: A smooth muscle cell line (A7r5) was stably transfected with the human SSAO/VAP-1 (hSSAO/VAP-1) gene. The expressed protein was located solely in the membrane fraction of the cell. However it was also shown to be released into the cell-culture medium. Both the membrane-bound and released, soluble, forms had SSAO enzyme activity. Although MAO-A is present in wild-type A7r5 cells, it was undetectable in the transfected cells.
