PharmaOnco™ HEK293T-Tg(Human NK1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell, Single Clone
CAT#: ITS-0624-HMM701
Product Type: Division-Arrested Cell
Short Description
Creative Biolabs offers HEK293T-Tg(Human NK1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell which NK1 receptor stably expressed in HEK293T cells.
Description
HEK293T-Tg(Human NK1 Receptor) Division-Arrested Cell was engineered to express the receptor human NK1 (NM_001058.2). This cell line can be used to study NK1 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
NK1 (or tachykinin receptor TACR1) is a selective receptor for substance P with relatively higher affinity for neurokinin A compared to neurokinin B (100- and 500-fold lower). Neurons in lamina I of the spinal dorsal horn express the NK1 receptor for substance P and mediate hyperalgesia, an enhanced sensitivity to painful stimuli. Although substance P does not mediate the signaling of acute pain or hyperalgesia, it is essential for the full development of stress-induced analgesia and for an aggressive response to territorial challenge. It is also suggested that substance P is important for orchestrating the response of the animal to major stressors such as pain, injury or invasion of territory. Modulation of substance P activity offers a radical new approach to the management of depression, anxiety and stress. The substance P receptor is highly expressed in areas of the brain that are implicated in these behaviors.

Sterility Testing
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
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.
Virological Safety Testing
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.
Genetic Stability Testing
We perform cell genetic stability studies under ICH guidelines. We can provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.
Mycoplasma Testing
The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.
Shipping
Dry Ice
Storage
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.
Handling Notes
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.
Warnings
Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles
Research Use Only
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Quality Control
All of our stable cell lines meet the highest quality standards and have been confirmed to be pathogen-free.
