Background Information: | The PathHunter® GPR109A (HM74A) cell line is a stable, engineered cell line for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This cell line enables assessment of ligand (e.g. 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid) based activation of GPR109A GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged GPR109A and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of GPR109A stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal. This stable modified cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells. |
