PathHunter® CXCR4 Total GPCR Internalization U2OS Cell Line

Background Information:

The PathHunter® CXCR4 Total GPCR internalization cell line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) affecting GPCR activation and internalization. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. CXCL12/SDF-1α) based internalization of CXCR4 via detection of localization to the early endosome. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged CXCR4 and an EA-tagged early endosome protein. Upon ligand-induced receptor activation, resulting internalization of the CXCR4 receptor to the early endosome leads to production of EFC signal.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
