Human Leydig Cells (HLC) are located in the interstitium of the testis near the seminiferous tubules. One of the important functions of LC is to produce testosterone after stimulation by pituitary luteinizing hormone. Cultured HLC are a useful in vitro model to better understand testicular development and to develop treatments for male reproductive disorders.
Each vial of human leydig cell pellet contains 5 million cells and can be used for a variety of applications including PCR, western blotting, genomic DNA library construction, and gene expression profiling.
Cell pellets are convenient and cost effective for researchers as it eliminates the need to acquire expensive tissues.
