Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human Y2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which Y2 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells which overexpress Gαqi5.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human Y2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human Y2 (NM_00091) and Gαqi5 gene. This cell line can be used to study Y2 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
NPY2R (Y2) belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors. It is expressed at high levels in central nerve system, heart, ileum and colon. NPY2R shows high affinity for neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY), and a fragment of NPY including amino acids 13 to 36. The rank order of affinity of this receptor for pancreatic polypeptides is PYY> NPY> PYY (3-36)> NPY (2-36)> [Il-31, Gln-34] PP> [Leu-31, Pro-34] NPY> PP, [Pro-34] PYY and NPY free acid. NPY exhibits a variety of potent central and peripheral effects including those on feeding, memory, blood pressure, and intestinal secretions. NPY2R has been shown to contribute to obesity.
