Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® mMCHR1 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. MCH) based activation of mMCHR1 GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged mMCHR1 and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of mMCHR1 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.
