Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human CCK2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which CCK2 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human CCK2 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human CCK2 (NM_176875.2). This cell line can be used to study CCK2 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.

Background
Cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR/CCK2R) is a 447-amino acid 7 transmembrane protein. The cholecystokinin (CCK) family of peptides and their receptors are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. CCKBR is a type B (gastrin) receptor that has high affinity for both sulfated and nonsulfated CCK analogs found principally in the CNS and select areas of the gastrointestinal tract.Type B receptors regulate anxiety, arousal, neuroleptic activity and opiate-induced analgesia. Outside of the CNS they regulate gastric acid secretion and may play a role in gastrointestinal motility and growth of normal and neoplastic gastrointestinal tissue. Northern hybridization shows CCKBR expressed in the stomach, pancreas, brain and gallbladder. The cholecystokinin-2 receptor (CCK-2R) is overexpressed in several human cancers but displays limited expression in normal tissues. For this reason, it is a suitable target for developing specific radiotracers.
