Features

TACR3/U2OS contains U2OS cells stably expressing untagged human tachykinin receptor 3 (TACR3). The Creative Biolabs TACR3 cell line is designed to test compounds or analyze their ability to modulate tachykinin receptor 3. When the agonist binds to TACR3, 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. High reproducibility

NK3 Tachykinin Receptor Assay

Assay Description

Creative Biolabs' NK3 Tachykinin Receptor Assay (TACR3) allows compounds to be tested or analyzed for their ability to modulate TACR3. When the ligand binds to TACR3, it activates the G protein; this in turn triggers a calcium-mediated cellular response. The combination of agonist and TACR3 induces intracellular calcium mobilization and PKC activation through PLC-IP3 and DAG pathways, respectively.

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.
