U2OS Cell stably expressing CCK2 Cholecystokinin Receptor, Calcium Biosensor & β-arrestin biosensor

Description Gentaur Cells are cell lines stably co-expressing tag-free GPCRs and two Gentaur Biosensors to monitor G-protein and β-arrestin modulation. Each vial of Gentaur CCK2 Cholecystokinin Receptor Cell Line contains U2OS cells stably expressing the following constructs: human CCK2 Cholecystokinin Receptor with no tag Calcium Gentaur Biosensor (Green Fluorescence) β-arrestin Gentaur Biosensor (Red Fluorescence) Gentaur CCK2 Cholecystokinin Receptor Cell Line allows to assay compounds analyzing both signalling pathways involving receptor activation; G protein by Ca2+ flux and β-arrestin recruitment, hence allowing biased activity studies. When an agonist binds to CCK2R a G protein is activated which, in turn, triggers a cellular response mediated by calcium and a subsequent internalization mediated by ß-Arrestin. This leads to an increase of fluorescence intensity of both β-Arrestin and Ca2+ biosensors. So, the activity can be easily quantified on living cells in a dose-response manner by fluorescence emission in a microplate reader.
