Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Human UT Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which UT receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human UT Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human UT (NM_018949.1). This cell line can be used to study urotensin II receptor signaling pathways, ligand binding kinetics, and the physiological roles of the UT receptor in health and disease. 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
The urotensin 2 receptor (UT or GPR14) is high affinity receptor for urotensin-2 and urotensin-2B. In human, Urotensin II is the most potent vasoconstrictor known, possibly contributing to several human cardiovascular diseases. Both UT receptor and urotensin II are widely expressed in many other tissues, implicating urotensin II in the pathogenesis of a variety of disease processes ranging from hypertension to hepatic cirrhosis and UT antagonists for the possibility of a new range of therapeutic drugs. Recent researches are showing that there are ligands inhibiting the activation of Erk1/2 and JNK by blocking the binding of UII and GPR14, thereby alleviating hepatic steatosis in rats with AS, ultimately restoring lipid metabolism in the liver and alleviating AS lesions.
