PharmaOnco™ HEK293T-Tg(Human Glucagon Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell, Single Clone

Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human Glucagon Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which Glucagon receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.

HEK293T-Tg(Human Glucagon Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human Glucagon (NM_000160). This cell line can be used to study Glucagon 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.

Well-characterized stable cell lines;
for cell-based high-throughput screening;
Low-cost evaluation of stable cell lines or limited quantities of compounds.

The human glucagon receptor GCGR mediates the action of the pancreatic peptide hormone glucagon and is mainly present in liver and kidney and to a lesser extent in intestinal smooth muscle, brain, adipose tissue, the adrenal gland, heart, and in pancreatic cells. Glucagon regulates blood glucose via control of hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis and via regulation of insulin release from the β cell. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by inappropriate regulation of hepatic glucose production, which is due to an imbalance in the bihormonal relationship between plasma levels of glucagon and insulin. The glucose-lowering effects of glucagon peptide antagonists and anti-glucagon antibodies have demonstrated the potential of glucagon receptor antagonism as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. Glucagon also elicits various effects in extrahepatic tissues, including adipose tissue, kidney, heart, pancreatic β cells, gastrointestinal tract, thyroid and central nervous system.

Creative Biolabs provides sterility testing in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.

Identity testing is required for newly established cell lines. Isoenzyme analysis is used to confirm the identity of the species of a cell line. Alternative methods for identity testing include DNA fingerprinting, STR analysis and karyology.

A broad range of viruses is susceptible to affecting human cell lines. We can provide in vivo/vitro virus safety assays by utilizing various animal systems. These viruses include: adventitious viruses, bovine viruses, human and simian viruses, porcine viruses, retrovirus and rodent viruses.

We perform cell genetic stability studies under ICH guidelines. We can provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.

The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.

Dry Ice

Frozen cells should be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank (-150°C~-190°C). After thawing, cells should be immediately transferred to the appropriate culture medium and maintained under recommended culture conditions.

Frozen cells should be thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure to ensure cell viability and proper assay performance.
Note: Do not freeze the cells upon receipt as it may result in irreversible damage to the cell line.
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee cell viability if the cells are not thawed immediately upon receipt and grown according to handling procedure.

Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

All of our stable cell lines meet the highest quality standards and have been confirmed to be pathogen-free.
