PathHunter® U2OS TrkA-P75 Functional Assay

Background Information:

The PathHunter® U2OS TrkA-P75 Functional Assay provides an easy-to-use cell based assay to study drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting RTKs. This kit assesses RTK activation via detection of activated TrkA and P75 dimerization-induced SH2 domain protein recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged TrkA and an EA-tagged SH2 domain protein. It also overexpresses an untagged co-receptor, P75 Upon ligand-induced receptor activation, SH2-EA recruitment leads to production of EFC signal.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
