Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human EP4 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which EP4 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human EP4 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human EP4 (NM_000958). This cell line can be used to study EP4 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
The human prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP4 (or PTGER4) is abundantly expressed. Activation of EP4 receptor induces osteoblasts and thereby stimulates de novo bone formation. Results from targeted deletion of the EP4 receptor also suggest that the EP4 subtype of the PGE2 receptor is involved in lipopolysaccharide-induced bone resorption. Modulating EP4 action may thus prove to be clinically useful for the treatment of bacterially induced bone loss, such as in periodontitis and osteomyelitis. EP4 also plays a role in the anti-inflammatory action of PGE2 in human macrophage.
