Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RG0044
Background This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Although this protein was earlier thought to be a receptor for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), it is now considered to be an orphan receptor, in that its endogenous ligand has not been identified. The protein is also a coreceptor for human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV). Translocations involving this gene and HMGA2 on chromosome 12 have been observed in lipomas.

Gene Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Abbr HEK293-HuCXCR7-SNAP
Alias CXCR7, CMKOR1, GPR159, RDC1, RDC-1, CMKOR1, CXC-R7, CXCR-7
Host Cell HEK293
Host Cell Species Homo sapiens (Human)

Customer Q&As
How does the Human CXCR7-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 ensure the stability of the SNAP tag?

A: The Human CXCR7-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 achieves the stability of the SNAP tag by genetically engineering the fusion of the SNAP tag (a protein tag) with the gene of CXCR7 protein, followed by the selection of cells that stably express this fusion protein through a selective medium. Stability is verified through long-term culture and monitoring the expression levels of the SNAP tag.

What are the key parameters to consider when using the Human CXCR7-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 for drug screening?

A: During drug screening, key parameters to consider include the expression level of the CXCR7 receptor, the functionality of the SNAP tag, the cell proliferation rate, and the cell's response to drug treatment.

What are the potential applications of the Human CXCR7-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in studying the signaling pathways of the CXCR7 receptor?

A: This cell line can be used to study the activation of the CXCR7 receptor, the identification of downstream signaling molecules, and key regulatory events in the signaling pathways. Additionally, it can be used to screen small molecules or biologics that affect CXCR7 signaling.

What are the advantages of the Human CXCR7-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in high-throughput screening (HTS)?

A: The advantages of this cell line lie in its stable expression of the SNAP tag, which allows it to be used in HTS to quickly identify compounds that interact with the CXCR7 receptor, thereby accelerating the drug discovery process.

How can the reliability of the Human CXCR7-SNAP Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in drug development be assessed?

A: Reliability can be assessed through multiple experiments, including verifying the functionality of the SNAP tag with CXCR7, monitoring the stability of the cell phenotype, and the cell line's performance in drug screening experiments. Additionally, the background variation and batch-to-batch consistency of the cell line should be considered.
