Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® U2OS mRHO(P23H) MEM-EA Pharmacotrafficking Assay is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying pharmacochaperones targeting mRHO. This cell line enables assessment of chaperone-based stabilization of mRHO(P23H) via detection of rescued membrane trafficking. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged mutant mRHO(P23H), which is misfolded and retained in the ER. The cell line also expresses membrane-localized EA. When a pharmacochaperone stabilizes the mutant mRHO, it is trafficked to the membrane, producing EFC signal.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
