Product Description
The gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR), currently designated as BB2, is a G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the GRPR gene in humans, with gastrin-releasing peptide as its endogenous ligand. This receptor is highly expressed in the pancreas and is also present in the stomach, adrenal cortex, and brain. It functions through G protein-mediated activation of the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system, leading to Akt phosphorylation. The receptor contributes to the regulation of food intake and plays a specific role in the perception and transmission of pruritic stimuli—facilitating itch signal transduction in the spinal cord and promoting scratching behavior, without involvement in pain perception.
Screeningbio’s CHO-K1/Rat BB2 cell line overexpress BB2 receptor and is designed to detect increases in intracellular IP-1 levels in response to agonist stimulation of the receptor. Cisbio HTRF IP-1 kit can be used to detect the signal.
