Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human kappa Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which kappa receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human kappa Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human kappa (NM_000912.3). This cell line can be used to study kappa 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;

Background
κ Opioid Receptor (KOR) is a receptor for dynorphins. KOR inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium currents and increasing potassium conductance and may play a role in arousal and regulation of autonomic and neuroendocrine functions. Some studies suggest that stimulation of KOR improves memory dysfunctions resulting from the blockade of muscarinic M1 receptors. In addition, KOR agonists attenuate several behavioral responses induced by drugs of abuse, raising the possibility that KOR agonists may be useful for the treatment of dependence on drugs of abuse.
