Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. It acts through at least two types of receptors. This gene encodes the type 1 receptor which is thought to mediate the major cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II. This gene may play a role in the generation of reperfusion arrhythmias following restoration of blood flow to ischemic or infarcted myocardium. It was previously thought that a related gene, denoted as AGTR1B, existed; however, it is now believed that there is only one type 1 receptor gene in humans. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported for this gene.
Customer Q&As
How can the functionality and stability of the SNAP tag in the Human AGTR1-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 be ensured?

A: To ensure the functionality and stability of the SNAP tag, it is crucial to first verify the insertion site and sequence correctness through PCR and sequence analysis. Secondly, the expression and localization of the SNAP tag can be assessed through immunofluorescence staining and Western Blot. Additionally, the activity of the SNAP tag can be evaluated through functional assays, such as SNAP-Tag substrate binding assays. During long-term culture, it is necessary to regularly monitor the expression levels of the SNAP tag to ensure its stability.

What is the application of the Human AGTR1-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in drug screening?

A: This cell line can be used for screening and evaluating potential drugs targeting the AGTR1 receptor by monitoring the interaction between the SNAP tag and drugs or other small molecules. This can be achieved through techniques such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) or co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), providing a high-throughput screening platform for drug development.

How can the culture conditions for the Human AGTR1-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 be optimized to enhance cell growth rate and SNAP tag expression?

A: The culture conditions can be optimized by adjusting the composition of the growth medium, such as adding appropriate growth factors and nutrients, and adjusting environmental factors like pH and temperature. Regular medium changes and avoiding overcrowding can help maintain cell health, which in turn can improve the expression of the SNAP tag.

What is the role of the Human AGTR1-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in studying the angiotensin II signaling pathway?

A: This cell line, by expressing the AGTR1 receptor with a SNAP tag, allows researchers to monitor the interaction between angiotensin II and its receptor in living cells in real-time, as well as subsequent signaling events. This is crucial for understanding the mechanism of action of angiotensin II in cardiovascular diseases.

How can the activation mechanism of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) be studied using the Human AGTR1-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293?

A: By using the AGTR1 receptor with a SNAP tag, researchers can employ biochemical and biophysical methods, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or single-molecule imaging techniques, to study the activation process of GPCRs. These technologies can provide detailed information about receptor conformational changes and G protein activation.
