Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RI0017
Description This cell line is engineered to overexpress human CHRNA1.
Background The alpha1/beta1/delta/epsilon receptor is the major nicotinic receptor found in adult mammalian muscle. These muscle nACh receptors are involved in the fast synaptic transmission at the skeletal-muscular junction and their activation causes muscular contraction. This cell line would be useful for safety counter screening compounds for any undesirable action on this nicotinic receptor subtype.
Target Gene CHRNA1
Gene Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Abbr HEK293-HuCHRNA1
Alias CHRNA1, ACHRA, ACHRD, CHRNA, CMS2A, FCCMS, SCCMS
Host Cell HEK293
Host Cell Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Applications

1. Gene expression studies

2. Signaling pathway research

3. Drug screening and toxicology

4. Channelopathies research

Size >1x106 frozen cells/vial
Stability Validated for at least 10 passages
Quality Control Negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi and mycoplasma.
Storage Liquid nitrogen

Revival Rapidly thaw cells in a 37°C water bath. Transfer contents into a tube containing pre-warmed media. Centrifuge cells and seed into a 25 cm2 flask containing pre-warmed media.
Media Type Cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
Growth Properties Cells are cultured as a monolayer at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Split at 80-90% confluence, approximately 1:3-1:6.
Freeze Medium Complete medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) DMSO
Morphology Epithelial
Mycoplasma Negative
Format One frozen vial containing millions of cells
Storage Liquid nitrogen
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.
