Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human GPR68 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which GPR68 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human GPR68 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human GPR68 (NM_003485). This cell line can be used to study GPR68 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
GPR68, also known as ovarian cancer G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1), was previously considered a receptor for sphingosylphosphorylcholine. Recent studies revealed that GPR68 is a proton-sensing GPCR that plays a major role in pH homeostasis. The receptor is expressed in the kidney, placenta, heart, lung, brain, spleen, testis, small intestines, and peripheral blood leucocytes. GPR68 stimulates inositol phosphate (IP) production, Ca2+ mobilization, and cAMP accumulation. The receptor is involved in cell-mediated responses to acidosis in the bone, acts as a metastasis suppressor gene in prostate cancer, and is a potential therapeutic target for obstructive lung diseases.
