Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human alpha2C Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which alpha2C receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human alpha2C Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human alpha2C (AY455666). This cell line can be used to study alpha2C receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. Dividing-arrest cells are cells that are normally kept under specific culture conditions or treated with agents that prevent cell division from being held in a non-dividing state. This can be achieved through methods such as serum starvation, chemical inhibitors of cell cycle progression, or genetic modification.

Background
The human adrenergic α2c receptor is a 458-amino acid, 7- transmembrane protein. It belongs to the group of nine adrenoceptors that mediate the biological actions of the endogenous catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline. All three alpha2-receptor subtypes may operate as presynaptic inhibitory feedback receptors to control the release of neurotransmitters. The α2c receptor is of particular importance as it appears to regulate venous vasoconstriction.
