Biological Information

Background Information:

The PathHunter® AVPR1B eXpress kit provides an easy-to-use cell based assay to study drug candidates (small molecules or biologics) targeting GPCRs. This kit assesses ligand (e.g. vasopressin) based activation of AVPR1B GPCR activity via detection of β-arrestin recruitment. This product uses EFC technology. The cells included overexpress PK-tagged AVPR1B and EA-tagged β-Arrestin-2. Activation of AVPR1B stimulates the recruitment of β-Arrestin-2 and produces EFC signal. eXpress kits are a convenient, ready-to-use format which contains all materials needed to run the assay, including single-use vials of cryopreserved cells, cell plating media, detection reagent, and assay plates.
