Features
The cAMP Maxensor MCR3 contains U2OS cells stably expressing cAMP Maxensor biosensor and melanocortin receptor 3. The Creative Biolabs cAMP Maxensor MCR3 cell line is designed to test compounds or analyze their ability to modulate melanocortin receptor 3 (MCR3). When the agonist binds to MCR3, it activates the G protein, which in turn triggers a cellular response mediated by cAMP. This cell line has been verified by analyzing the intracellular distribution of cAMP Maxensor biosensor by measuring the increase of cAMP in the cytosol. This cell line allows image analysis of compound-induced stimuli. In high content analysis (HCA), the use of human (Nle4, D-Phe7)-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) as an agonist validated this highly reproducible assay.

Application Notes
About cAMP Maxensor Biosensor
The cAMP Maxensor biosensor is a fluorescent peptide that changes its intracellular location in the presence or absence of cAMP. Before cAMP stimulates, the fluorescent biosensor is located in the cell membrane. The increase in the concentration of the second messenger leads to changes in the folding of the Maxensor biosensor, which promotes the relocation of the cells in the vesicle transport of the cells. In cell lines co-expressing Maxensor biosensor and GPCR, after activating the GPCR with the agonist of interest, the viability of living cells can be easily quantified by image analysis of changes in cell density.

MC3 Melanocortin Receptor Assay
Assay Description
Creative Biolabs' MC3 Melanocortin Receptor Assay uses Maxensor Biosensors technology to measure MC3R receptor activation. MC3 melanocortin receptor signaling occurs through adenylate cyclase stimulation through the interaction of trimerized Gs protein, increased cAMP, and downstream L-type calcium channels. In this assay, we use the cAMP-Maxensor biosensor to measure receptor activation/inhibition through cAMP accumulation. The high reproducibility of this assay allows monitoring of MC3 melanocortin receptor activation in high-throughput screening.
