Ready-to-Assay™ D4 Dopamine Receptor Frozen Cells

The Ready-to-Assay™ D4 Dopamine Receptor Frozen Cells measure DRD4 (GPCR) activation via an increase in intracellular calcium. Ready-to-Assay kits contain two vials of thaw-and-use cells.

Catalog #: HTS223RTA Size: 2 vials

Biological Information
Background Information:	The Ready-to-Assay™ D4 Dopamine Receptor Frozen Cells are a simple, thaw-and-assay cell format for use in studying drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This assay assesses ligand (e.g. dopamine) based activation of DRD4 GPCR activity via detection of increasing levels of intracellular calcium. The included cells overexpress DRD4 alongside exogenous levels of a promiscuous G-protein, coupling the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Upon activation of DRD4 , the resulting calcium activity can be fluorescently assayed. Ready-to-assay kits consist of two vials of the stably modified clonal cell line in a convenient thaw-and-use format.
