Biological Information

Background Information:

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