Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human BLT2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which BLT2 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human BLT2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human BLT2 (NM_001164692.2). This cell line can be used to study BLT2 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

Background
Leukotriene B4(LTB4)isapotentlipidmediatorofallergicandinflammatory reactions, as well as a modulator of immune responses. Two receptors for LTB4 have been described on human neutrophils. The high-affinity human leukocyte LTB4 receptor, BLT1 mediates aggregation, chemotaxis, chemokinesis, and increased adherence to surfaces, whereas the low-affinity receptor, BLT2 (or LTB4R2) mediates degranulation and increased oxidative metabolism. BLT2 is expressed ubiquitously with the highest expression in spleen and has a broader ligand specificity for various eicosanoids. Cells expressing BLT2 exhibited LTB4-induced chemotaxis, calcium mobilization, and inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. BLT2 provides a novel target for anti-inflammatory therapy and promises to expand our knowledge of LTB4 function.
