PathHunter® GCGR Total GPCR Internalization HEK 293 Cell Line

Background Information:

The PathHunter® GCGR 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. glucagon) based internalization of GCGR via detection of localization to the early endosome. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses EA-tagged GCGR and a PK-tagged early endosome protein. Upon ligand-induced receptor activation, resulting internalization of the GCGR receptor to the early endosome leads to production of EFC signal.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
