Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human NPBW1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which NPBW1 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells which overexpress Gαqi5.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human NPBW1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human NPBW1 (NM_005285) and Gαqi5 gene. This cell line can be used to study NPBW1 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
Well-characterized stable cell lines;
for cell-based high-throughput screening;

Background
Neuropeptide B/neuropeptide W receptor 1 (NPBW1 or GPR7) is a receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals. Targeted disruption of NPBW1 in mice has confirmed that this receptor plays a role in maintaining long-term energy homeostasis. NPBW1 lacking male mice show moderately severe, late-onset obesity that is a result of both hyperphagia and decreased energy expenditure with reduced locomotor activity.
