Features

The HiTector HTR2C contains U2OS cells stably expressing unlabeled human serotonin receptor 2C (HTR2C). Creative Biolabs' HiTector HTR2C cell line is designed to test compounds or analyze their ability to modulate serotonin receptor 2C. When the agonist binds to HTR2C, the G protein is activated, which in turn triggers a cellular response mediated by the second messenger (calcium). This cell line has been validated by measuring the increase in calcium in the cytosol. The high reproducibility of this assay allows monitoring of the HTR2C activation process in high-throughput screening.

5-HT2C Serotonin Receptor Assay

Assay Description

The 5-HT2C Serotonin Receptor Assay (HTR2C) from Creative Biolabs allows the detection of compounds, or analysis of their ability to modulate HTR2C. When the ligand binds to HTR2C, it activates the G protein; this in turn triggers calcium The combination of agonist and HTR2C induces intracellular calcium mobilization and PKC activation through PLC-IP3 and DAG pathways, respectively.

The 5-HT2C serotonin receptor test involves measuring the concentration of calcium in the cytoplasm. The high reproducibility of this assay allows monitoring of the HTR2C receptor activation process in living cells.

Mycoplasma Testing

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

Sterility Testing

Sterility testing was performed 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.

Genetic Stability Testing

Cell genetic stability study was perfomed under ICH guidelines. We provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.
