Cat. No. CSC-RI0001
Description This cell line is engineered to overexpress human CACNA1B.
Background CACNA1B is a voltage-gated calcium channel alpha subunit. It is expressed almost exclusively in neurons typically located at high densities in presynaptic terminals. Opening of these channels enables the rapid influx of the extracellular Ca2+, triggering exocytotic vesicle fusion with terminal membranes and subsequent neurotransmitter release. Evidence suggests that Cav2.2 channels have a fundamental role in instigating increased excitability and neurotransmitter release in various pain syndromes. The link between CACNA1B and pain neurotransmission in humans has been further vindicated by the effectiveness of PrialtR (ziconotide), a synthetic version of omega-conotoxin MVIIA, in treating severe chronic pain.

Safety Considerations

The following safety precautions should be observed.

1. Use pipette aids to prevent ingestion and keep aerosols down to a minimum.

2. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling the stable line.

3. Wash hands after handling the stable line and before leaving the lab.

4. Decontaminate work surface with disinfectant or 70% ethanol before and after working with stable cells.

5. All waste should be considered hazardous.

6. Dispose of all liquid waste after each experiment and treat with bleach.
