CHO-K1/5-HT2C Stable Cell Line |
Full Name |
Human Recombinant 5-HT2C Serotonin Receptor Stable Cell Line |
|
Species |
Human |
Description |
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, also commonly known as serotonin) is synthesized in enterochromaffin cells in the intestine and in serotonergic nerve terminals. In the periphery, 5-HT mediates gastrointestinal motility, platelet aggregation, and contraction of blood vessels. Many functions of the central nervous system are influenced by 5-HT, including sleep, motor activity, sensory perception, arousal, and appetite. A family of 12 GPCRs and one ion channel mediate the biological effects of 5-HT (Hoyer et al., 1994). 5-HT2C is expressed in the brain and spinal cord, especially the choroid plexus. 5-HT2C receptor agonists may have important clinical value in the treatment of mental and eating disorders, such as depression, panic anxiety, OCD, bulimia, and obesity. GenScript's cloned human 5-HT2C-expressing cell line is generated in the CHO-K1 host. |

Application Examples |
Figure 1. 5-HT-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO-K1/5-HT2C and CHO-K1 cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 prior to stimulation with a 5-HT2C receptor agonist, 5-HT. The intracellular calcium change was measured by FlexStation. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were plotted against the log of the cumulative doses (5-fold dilution) of 5-HT (Mean ± SD, n = 2). The EC50 of 5-HT on 5-HT2C in CHO-K1 cells was 0.8 nM. The S/B of 5-HT on 5-HT2C in CHO-K1 cells was 6. |
