Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® mGHSR1a 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. ghrelin) based activation of mGHSR1a GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged mGHSR1a and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of mGHSR1a 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 Mouse version of this protein.
