Biological Information
Background Information:	The PathHunter® CHRM5 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. oxotremorine) based activation of CHRM5 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged CHRM5 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of CHRM5 stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal. This stable modified cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
