Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human IP1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which IP1 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human IP1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human IP1 (NM_000960). This cell line can be used to study IP1 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
IP1 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions.

Background
The human prostaglandin I2 receptor IP1 (or PTGIR) mediates the actions of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2 or prostacyclin), which is a labile metabolite of arachidonic acid produced in concert with the bis-enoic prostaglandins via the cyclooxygenase pathway. PGI2 plays a major physiologic role as a strong mediator of vasodilation and inhibitor or platelet activation, and is an antithrombotic agent in vivo and mediates inflammation and pain. PGI2 derived from COX2 plays a critical role in regulating the release of rennin and consequently in renovascular hypertension.
