Biological Information
Background Information:	The PathHunter® MC4R 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. α-MSH) based activation of MC4R GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged MC4R and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of MC4R stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal. This stable modified cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
