| Biological Information | |
|---|---|
| Background Information: | The Ready-to-Assay™ EP2 Prostanoid 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. prostaglandin E2) based activation of PTGER2 GPCR activity via detection of increasing levels of intracellular calcium. The included cells overexpress PTGER2 alongside exogenous levels of a promiscuous G-protein, coupling the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Upon activation of PTGER2 , 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. |
