Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human GAL2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which GAL2 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human GAL2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human GAL2 (NM_003857). This cell line can be used to study GAL2 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.
Applications
GAL2 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions.

NM_003857
Background
The diverse physiological effects of Galanin, a biologically active neuropeptide, are mediated through cell surface G protein-coupled receptors. To date, three galanin receptor subtypes, GALR1, GALR2 and GALR3, have been cloned. Galanin, widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and the endocrine systems, binds to galanin receptors to induce several regulatory functions in neuronal cells, including neuroregeneration, control of endocrine and exocrine secretions, and modulation of sensory and behavioral functions. Galanin agonists have been shown to have therapeutic application in treatment of chronic pain; galanin antagonists have therapeutic potential in treatment of Alzheimer's disease, depression, and feeding disorders.
