PharmaOnco™ HEK293T-Tg(Human GPR39 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell, Single Clone

Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human GPR39 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which GPR39 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.

HEK293T-Tg(Human GPR39 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human GPR39 (NM_001508.1). This cell line can be used to study signaling pathways and functions of GPR39, as well as in drug screening studies targeting this specific receptor. 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 G protein-coupled receptor 39 is a seven transmembrane receptor expressed mainly in endocrine and metabolic tissues and is a member of the ghrelin receptor family. The receptor acts as a Zn++ sensor signaling mainly through Gq and G12/13 pathways. It was first reported to be the receptor for a peptide fragment from the ghrelin precursor named obestatin but later it was reported that obestatin did not activate GPR39 and therefore, the natural ligand for GPR39 is uncertain so far. GPR39 is expressed in the stomach, small intestine and areas of the brain, including the hypothalamus. The expression of GPR39 is regulated by hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha and HNF-4alpha and plays an important role in glucose homeostasis and pancreatic islet functions. Deficiency of the GPR39 receptor is associated with obesity and altered adipocyte metabolism. In addition, it has been shown that overexpression of GPR39 contributes to malignant development of human oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

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.
