Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers CHO-K1-Tg(Rat β-Arrestin2//Rat GPR40 Receptor) Stable Cell Line which GPR40 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells which overexpress β-Arrestin2.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Rat β-Arrestin2//Rat GPR40 Receptor) Stable Cell Line was engineered to express the receptor rat GPR40 (NM_004313.3) and β-Arrestin2 gene. GPR40 is a critical receptor involved in mediating the effects of medium and long-chain FFAs on insulin secretion, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory responses. This cell line can be used to study GPR40 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions.
Features
Minimally modified GPCRs directly selected in functional assays;
Strict quality control;
Parental and orthologous cell lines are available.

Background
The GPR40 receptor, also known as Free Fatty Acid Receptor 1 (FFAR1), is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays a crucial role in mediating the effects of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the body, particularly medium and long-chain FFAs. It is primarily expressed in pancreatic beta cells and plays a significant role in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
