Background Information: | The ChemiScreen™ MC2 Melanocortin 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. adrenocorticotropin) based activation of MC2R GPCR activity via detection of increasing levels of intracellular calcium. The included cell line overexpresses MC2R alongside endogenous high levels of the promiscuous G protein, Gα15, coupling the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Upon activation of MC2R , the resulting calcium activity can be fluorescently assayed. This stable modified cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells. |
