Description This cell line is engineered to overexpress human CHRNB4.
Background Nicotinic receptors (nAChR) are acetylcholine-activated non-selective cation channels that mediate excitatory neurotransmission. The receptor-channels are configured as hetero- or homopentamers. The human CHRNA3 and CHRNB4 genes encode a cationic-selective, ionotropic alpha3/beta 4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Channels that contain a3 subunits typically have lower Ca2+ permeability compared to those containing a7 subunits. Therefore, alpha7 nAChRs are particularly important in regulation of Ca2+-dependent signalling pathways. Tissue distribution also differs with alpha3/beta 4 receptors prominent in autonomic ganglia and alpha7 receptors widely distributed in the CNS.

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.
