Description

Description

  • Used for adherent cell cultures
  • Originally used with RPMI 1640 and Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), ITS-A is now routinely used with other basal media to support a wide variety of cell types in the presence of 2 to 4% FBS
  • Insulin promotes glucose and amino acid uptake, lipogenesis, intracellular transport, and the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids
  • Transferrin is an iron carrier and it may also help to reduce toxic levels of oxygen radicals and peroxide
  • Selenite is a cofactor for glutathione peroxidase and other proteins, and is used as an antioxidant in media
  • Sodium Pyruvate is a precursor to amino acids, fatty acids, and cholesterol; it is an important intermediate in many biosynthetic pathways
