Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human Y1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which Y1 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells which overexpress Gαqi5.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human Y1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human Y1 (NM_000909) and Gαqi5 gene. This cell line can be used to study Y1 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
NPY1R (Neuropeptide Y receptor type 1) is a receptor for neuropeptide Y that is the most abundant peptide present in the mammalian central and peripheral nervous system. Neuropeptide Y exhibits a variety of potent central and peripheral effects including those on feeding, memory, blood pressure, cardiac contractility and intestinal secretions. Neuropeptide Y effects are mediated by several different receptor subtypes, Y- 1, Y-1-like, Y-2, Y-3, Y-4 and Y-5. NPY1R is correlated with food feeding and subnanomolar antagonists of NPY1R have been discovered as potential anti- obesity agents. NPY1R is also involved in cardiovascular actions of exogenous neuropeptide Y and plays a role in maintaining basal blood pressure and heart rate in ischaemic heart failure.
