Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gα16//Human GPR41 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which GPR41 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells which overexpress Gα16.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gα16//Human GPR41 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human GPR41 (NM_005304) and Gα16 gene. This cell line can be used to study GPR41 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
GPR41 or free fatty acid receptor 3 (FFAR3) shares 98% amino acid identity with GPR42 and closely related to GPR43. While GPR43 is expressed in immune cells, GPR41 appears to be expressed in blood vessel endothelial cells, particularly in adipose tissue, with significant expression also in immune cells and endothelial cells of other tissues. Although propionate and short chain fatty acids were identified recently as the cognate physiological ligands for GPR41, the functional roles of the receptor is still not clear and awaits the development of specific high affinity agonist and antagonists and the evaluation of knock-out animals.
