| Background Information: | The PathHunter® MC3R Total GPCR internalization eXpress kit provides an easy to-use cell based assay to study drug candidates affecting GPCR activation and internalization. This kit assesses ligand (e.g. melanocyte stimulating hormone) based internalization of MC3R via detection of localization to the early endosome. This product uses EFC technology. The cells included overexpress PK-tagged MC3R and an EA-tagged early endosome protein. Upon ligand-induced receptor activation, resulting internalization of the MC3R receptor to the early endosome leads to production of 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. |
