A Protein Complex Network of Drosophila melanogaster (2011, background): “Transcriptome data of HEK293 cells (Shaw et al., 2002; Williams et al., 2004) suggested that several human orthologs of interactors predicted by DPiM are not expressed in this cell type.”
International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. LXXIX. Cannabinoid Receptors and Their Ligands: Beyond CB1 and CB2 (2010, background): “It is noteworthy, too, that although HEK293 cells are referred to as “human embryonic kidney” cells, a study on the origin of this cell line suggests that these cells may in fact have been derived by adenoviral transformation of a neuronal precursor present in the HEK cell cultures from which the or”
