Gene Information

Cat. No.	CSC-RG0039
Background	This gene encodes beta-2-adrenergic receptor which is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This receptor is directly associated with one of its ultimate effectors, the class C L-type calcium channel Ca(V)1.2. This receptor-channel complex also contains a G protein, an adenylyl cyclase, cAMP-dependent kinase, and the counterbalancing phosphatase, PP2A. The assembly of the signaling complex provides a mechanism that ensures specific and rapid signaling by this G protein-coupled receptor. This gene is intronless. Different polymorphic forms, point mutations, and/or downregulation of this gene are associated with nocturnal asthma, obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Customer Q&As

What is the significance of the Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in studying G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)?

A: The Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 is crucial for GPCR research as it allows for the study of the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2), a well-characterized GPCR. This cell line enables researchers to investigate the structure-function relationship, ligand binding, and signaling pathways of ADRB2, which are essential for understanding diseases related to GPCR dysfunction.

How does the SNAP tag in the Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 facilitate protein labeling and visualization?

A: The SNAP tag is a small protein tag that can be fused to the C-terminus of the ADRB2 receptor. It enables the covalent attachment of a wide range of biotin derivatives, fluorescent dyes, or affinity probes through a unique chemistry. This allows for the specific labeling and visualization of the receptor within the cell, which is invaluable for studying its subcellular localization and trafficking.

How does the Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 contribute to the development of new therapeutic agents targeting ADRB2?

A: The Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 serves as a valuable platform for high-throughput screening of compounds that modulate ADRB2 activity. By assessing the effects of these compounds on receptor function, researchers can identify potential drug candidates that may lead to the development of new treatments for diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart failure.

How does the Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 differ from other HEK293 cell lines in terms of receptor expression?

A: The Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 is distinguished by its stable expression of the ADRB2 receptor with the SNAP tag. This engineered cell line provides a consistent and controlled environment for studying the receptor, which is not typically found in non-engineered HEK293 cells. The SNAP tag also allows for unique labeling and detection methods that are not possible with other cell lines.

Can the Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 be used to study other GPCRs besides ADRB2?

A: While the Human ADRB2-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 is specifically engineered for the study of ADRB2, it can serve as a model system for studying other GPCRs, particularly when investigating common signaling pathways or mechanisms of action. However, for detailed studies on specific GPCRs, it would be necessary to generate similar stable cell lines expressing those receptors.
