ChemiSCREEN CRTH2 Membrane Preparation

Descrição detalhada : Human CRTH2, Chemoattractant receptor homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) is a GPCR related to FPR-like chemoattractant receptors that is highly expressed on Th2 cells, eosinophils, basophils, and type 2 cytotoxic T cells (Nagata et al., 1999). The most potent ligand for CRTH2 is the prostaglandin PGD2, a major mast cell-derived allergic mediator (Hirai et al., 2001). Another GPCR, DP, is activated by PGD2, and the relative contributions of DP and CRTH2 to PGD2-mediated allergic disease are being elucidated. A small molecule antagonist of CRTH2, ramatroban, attenuates PGD2-mediated bronchial hyperresponsiveness and antigen-induced inflammation (Sugimoto et al., 2003; Shichijo et al., 2003).Chemicon's CRTH2 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 antagonists of PGD2/CRTH2 interactions. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 10 nM for [3H]-Prostaglandin D2. With 2.5 mug/well CRTH2 Membrane Prep and 10 nM [3H]-Prostaglandin D2, a greater than 5-fold signal-to-background ratio is obtained.
