Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RG0038
Background The gene encodes the D5 subtype of the Dopamine receptor. This subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor which stimulates adenylyl cyclase. Dopamine is one of the most important neurotransmitters and the expression of its receptors is well characterized in brain.
Dopamine receptors are involved in many neurological processes so their abnormal signalling is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. Defects in DRD5 are a cause of benign essential blepharospasm (BEB), a primary focal dystonia affecting the orbicularis oculi muscles.

Customer Q&As
How does the Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y facilitate the study of dopamine receptor function in neurological disorders?

A: The Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y is engineered to express the human dopamine receptor D5 (DRD5) tagged with green fluorescent protein (tGFP). This allows researchers to visualize and quantify the activity of DRD5 receptors in response to dopamine or other ligands, which is crucial for understanding the role of these receptors in the pathophysiology of neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.

What are the advantages of using the Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y for drug screening compared to traditional animal models?

A: The Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y provides a more physiologically relevant and ethically acceptable platform for drug screening. It allows for high-throughput screening of potential therapeutic compounds, reducing the reliance on animal testing. Additionally, it offers the advantage of being able to directly observe the effects of drugs on human receptors, which can lead to more accurate predictions of drug efficacy and safety in humans.

How does the Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y contribute to the understanding of dopamine receptor pharmacology?

A: This cell line enables researchers to study the pharmacological properties of DRD5 receptors, such as their affinity for various ligands and their response to different agonists and antagonists. By observing the fluorescent signal, researchers can gain insights into the receptor's activation and desensitization processes, which are essential for developing new drugs targeting these receptors.

How does the Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies for dopamine-related disorders?

A: By providing a platform to study the DRD5 receptor's function and response to various compounds, this cell line can accelerate the discovery of new drugs and therapeutic interventions. It can also be used to test the efficacy and safety of existing drugs, potentially leading to new indications or improved treatment protocols.

How does the Human DRD5-tGFP Stable Cell Line-SHSY5Y help in understanding the molecular mechanisms of DRD5 receptor signaling?

A: The cell line allows researchers to investigate the intracellular signaling pathways activated by the DRD5 receptor. By monitoring the fluorescent signal, they can trace the activation of downstream signaling molecules, which can lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the receptor's function.
