Product Description
Alpha-2-adrenergic receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, comprising three highly homologous subtypes: α2A, α2B, and α2C. These receptors play a critical role in regulating neurotransmitter release from sympathetic nerves and adrenergic neurons in the central nervous system. Studies in mice have revealed that both the α2A and α2C subtypes are required for normal presynaptic control of transmitter release from sympathetic nerves in the heart and from central noradrenergic neurons. Specifically, the α2A subtype inhibits transmitter release at high stimulation frequencies, whereas the α2C subtype modulates neurotransmission at lower levels of nerve activity.
ScreeningBio’s CHO-K1/Human α2A β-Arrestin cell pool co-express the SmBiT tagged α2A receptor and the LgBiT tagged β-Arrestin. Activation of the GPCR-SmBiT induces β-Arrestin-LgBiT recruitment, forcing complementation of two NanoBiT enzyme fragments (SmBiT and LgBiT). The resulting functional NanoBiT enzyme catalyze substrate to generate a luminescent signal. Promega Nano-Glo Live Cell Kit can be used to detect the signal.
