Biological Information

Background Information:

The EDG4 Gq cell line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. LPA) based activation of EDG4 GPCR activity via detection of increasing levels of intracellular calcium. The included cell line overexpresses EDG4 , a naturally Gq coupled GPCR. Upon activation of EDG4 , the resulting calcium activity can be fluorescently assayed using the Calcium NoWash PLUS Detection Kit.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
