Cat. No. CSC-RG0879
Background Stimulation of Gi-coupled receptors in heart and brain activates G-protein-gated inward rectifier K+ channels (GIRK) via Gbetagamma (Dascal, N. 2001). This activity can be detected using a GIRK-mediated thallium flux assay described by Niswender et al., 2008. This assay is compatible with HTS and represents a novel and a sensitive assay for detecting Gi/o -coupled GPCRs.

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.
