Biological Information
Background Information:
The PathHunter® rCHRM4 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. acetylcholine) based activation of rCHRM4 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged rCHRM4 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of rCHRM4 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells. Please note that this product expresses the rat version of this protein.
