---|---|
Background Information: | The PathHunter® MTNR1A 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. melatonin) based activation of MTNR1A GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The included cell line overexpresses PK-tagged MTNR1A and EA-tagged β-Arrestin 2. Activation of MTNR1A stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin 2 and produces EFC signal. This stable modified cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells. |
