Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human Y5 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which Y5 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells which overexpress Gαqi5.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human Gαqi5//Human Y5 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human Y5 (NM_006174) and Gαqi5 gene. This cell line can be used to study Y5 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 NPY5 receptor mRNA expresses largely in the central nervous system, and highly expressed in hypothalamic and thalamic nuclei. Neuropeptide Y has a major role in the physiological control of energy homeostasis, and the NPY5 receptor is a prime candidate to mediate some of the effects through metabolic changes such as decreased lipolysis and thermogenesis, as well as hyperphagia. NPY5 is involved in both spontaneous as well as NPY-stimulated food intake and in NPY-induced reduction of blood glucose concentrations. NPY5 also plays an important role in neuroendocrine functions. It mediates the inhibitory effects of NPY on the HPT axis, and may function as part of an endogenous stress- sensing system to mediate social anxiety and motivational deficits. In addition, NPY5 may be involved in NPY-induced ischemic angiogenesis and opioid dependence and withdrawal.
