Biological Information

Background Information:

The cAMP Hunter™ ADRA2A Gi 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. epinephrine and norepinephrine) based activation of ADRA2A GPCR activity via detection of decreasing levels of intracellular cAMP. This product uses EFC technology. The cells overexpress wild type ADRA2A , a naturally Gi/Go coupled GPCR. Upon activation of ADRA2A , the decrease in levels of intracellular cAMP leads to a decreased signal from EFC when the cAMP detection kit is applied.
This stable engineered cell line is provided as two vials of cryopreserved cells.
