Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human mu Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which mu receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells which overexpress Gαqi5.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human mu Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human mu (NM_000914.2) and Gαqi5 gene. This cell line can be used to study mu 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
μ opioid receptor (MOR) is a G protein-coupled receptor for β-endorphin. The receptor activation inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium currents and increasing potassium conductance. MOR mediates positive reinforcement following direct (morphine) or indirect (alcohol, cannabinoids, nicotine) activation. MOR plays a genetic role in the control of gut inflammation. MOR-deficient mice are highly susceptible to colon inflammation, with a 50% mortality rate occurring 3 days after administration of TNBS that induces inflammation. MOR agonists regulate cytokine production and T cell proliferation and might be new therapeutic molecules in inflammatory bowel disease.
