Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human APJ Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which APJ receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human APJ Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human APJ (NM_005161). This cell line can be used to study APJ 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.
Features
Well-characterized stable cell lines;
for cell-based high-throughput screening;
Low-cost evaluation of stable cell lines or limited quantities of compounds.

Background
APJ (also called AGTRL1, angiotensin II receptor-like 1) is a G- protein-coupled receptor that mediates diverse physiological effects of the neuropeptide apelin. It plays a role in the central and peripheral regulation of the cardiovascular system, in water and food intake, and possibly in immune function. APJ is highly expressed in the cardiovascular system and exerts the hypotensive effect in vivo and plays a counter-regulatory role against the repressor action of angiotensin II. APJ is also found to be a coreceptor for the entry of several HIV-1 and SIV strains, and apelin blocks the entry of HIV-1 and HIV-2.
