Hep-G2 is a primary liver hepatoblastoma cell line, derived from the liver tissue of a 15 year old Caucasian male with a hepatocellular carcinoma. They are non-tumorigenic in nude mice and have high proliferation rates. During cell culture, Hep-G2 cells show an epithelial-like morphology and are able to perform many differentiated hepatic functions. Therefore, they are used in various studies for research from the oncogenesis to the liver cytotoxicity.<br> <br> Synonym: HEP-G2; Hep G2; HEP G2; HepG2; HEPG2
