Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RG0056
Background The protein encoded by this gene acts as receptor for arginine vasopressin. This receptor belongs to the subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors which includes AVPR1B, V2R and OXT receptors. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which stimulate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The receptor mediates cell contraction and proliferation, platelet aggregation, release of coagulation factor and glycogenolysis.

Customer Q&As
What is the significance of the Human AVPR1A-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in the field of neuroscience research?

A: The Human AVPR1A-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 is significant for neuroscience research as it allows for the study of the Arginine Vasopressin 1A Receptor (AVPR1A), which is involved in various physiological processes such as water balance and social behavior. The SNAP tag enables the visualization and tracking of AVPR1A within the cell, providing insights into its subcellular localization and trafficking.

How does the Human AVPR1A-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 contribute to the understanding of water homeostasis?

A: This cell line is instrumental in studying the role of AVPR1A in water homeostasis. AVPR1A is a receptor for vasopressin, which regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys. By observing the function of AVPR1A in this cell line, researchers can gain insights into how dysregulation of this receptor might contribute to conditions like diabetes insipidus.

What are the potential applications of the Human AVPR1A-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in drug discovery?

A: This cell line can be used for high-throughput screening of compounds that interact with AVPR1A. By monitoring changes in receptor activity, researchers can identify potential drug candidates for conditions related to AVPR1A dysfunction, such as urinary disorders or neurological diseases.

How does the Human AVPR1A-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 aid in the study of social behavior and its neurological basis?

A: AVPR1A has been implicated in social bonding and behavior. The stable cell line provides a platform to study the molecular mechanisms underlying these behaviors, which could lead to a better understanding of social disorders and the development of therapeutic strategies.

How does the Human AVPR1A-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 facilitate the study of AVPR1A signaling pathways?

A: By expressing AVPR1A with a SNAP tag, researchers can use various biochemical and molecular techniques to probe the receptor's signaling cascades. This includes assessing the activation of downstream effectors and the involvement of intracellular signaling molecules.
