Biological Information
Background Information:
The ChemiSCREEN™ ETA Endothelin Receptor Stable Cell Line is an engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. endothelin) based activation of EDNRA GPCR activity via detection of increasing levels of intracellular calcium. The included cell line overexpresses EDNRA alongside endogenous high levels of the promiscuous G protein, Gα15, coupling the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Upon activation of EDNRA , the resulting calcium activity can be fluorescently assayed.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
