Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human OX2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which OX2 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human OX2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human OX2 (NM_001526.2). This cell line can be used to study OX2 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
Orexins, or hypocretins, produced by a small group of neurons in lateral hypothalamus, are involved in many physiological functions such as feeding, energy metabolism, sleep, arousal, reward, substance abuse, stress, as well as sympathetic and cardiovascular functions. OX2 is one of the two receptors for the orexins. The receptor is expressed in the brain regions such as the hypothalamus, hippocampus and thalamus. Recent studies have indicated that orexins may also be useful in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.
