Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® TACR3 eXpress kit provides an easy-to-use cell based assay to study drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This kit assesses ligand (e.g. substance P, senkitide) based activation of TACR3 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The cells included overexpress PK-tagged TACR3 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin-2. Activation of TACR3 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin-2 and produces EFC signal. eXpress kits are a convenient, ready-to-use format which contains all materials needed to run the assay, including single-use vials of cryopreserved cells, cell plating media, detection reagent, and assay plates.
