Description
Features
(1) Unlabeled human B2 adrenergic receptor (ARDB2);
(2) cAMP Maxsensor biosensor (red fluorescence).
The cAMP Maxsensor B2 adrenergic receptor (ARDB2) cell line allows the analysis of compounds in the G protein signaling pathway through cAMP that involves receptor activation. When the agonist binds to ADRB2, it activates the G protein, which in turn triggers a cellular response mediated by cAMP. This leads to an increase in the red fluorescence intensity of the cAMP biosensor. Therefore, the activity of living cells can be easily quantified in a dose-response manner through the fluorescence emission in the microplate reader.
Application Notes
The red cAMP Maxensor biosensor is a fluorescent peptide that changes its intracellular location in the presence or absence of cAMP. Before stimulating cAMP production, the fluorescent biosensor is located in the cell membrane. The increase in the concentration of the second messenger leads to changes in the structural folding of the red cAMP Maxensor biosensor, which promotes the relocation of cells in the transport of cell vesicles. In cell lines that co-express the red cAMP Maxensor biosensor and the GPCR of interest, the activity of living cells can be easily quantified by fluorescence granularity image analysis or fluorescence intensity analysis.
