PC-12 cell

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.12002
Cell of an established line originally derived from a pheochromocytoma of the rat adrenal medulla.
Note: PC-12 cells dividing in culture will terminally differentiate into neuron-like cells under an appropriate stimulus (e.g., nerve growth factor), making them a common model for studying neuronal differentiation and properties in culture.
