ChemiSCREEN Membrane Preparation Recombinant Human EP2 Prostanoid Receptor

Descrição detalhada : Prostanoids bind to a family of 8 GPCRs to exert their biological effects (Narumiya and FitzGerald, 2001). The protanoid PGE2 causes pain, vasodilation, immunosuppression of T cells, bone resorption and promotion of carcinogenesis. Four related GPCRs, EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4, each bind to PGE2, but the different G protein coupling status of each receptor leads to distinct biological effects. EP2 couples primarily to Gs to increase intracellular cAMP levels. Mice deficient in EP2 receptor showed impaired ovulation and fertilization, salt-sensitive hypertension (Kennedy et al., 1999). It has been shown that EP2 receptors are also involved in cancer associated immunodeficiency. Thus, genetic knockout of the EP2 receptor reduced tumor growth and prolonged survival in mice that had undergone isograft injection of MC26 or Lewis lung carcinoma cells (Yang et al., 2003). Millipore's EP2 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of agonists and antagonists of EP2. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 14.52 nM for [3H]-PGE2. With 7.5 nM [3H]-PGE2, 10µg/well EP2 Membrane Prep typically yields greater than 3-fold signal-to-background ratio., Full-length human PTGER2 cDNA encoding EP2
