Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RI0059
Description This cell line is engineered to overexpress human HTR3A.
Background The human HTR3A gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of 5-HT3A, a ligand-gated cation channel activated by 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). 5-HT3A channels expressed in the CNS and GI tract, are therapeutic targets in nausea and irritable bowel syndrome.
Target Gene HTR3A
Gene Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Abbr HEK293-HuHTR3A
Alias HTR3A, 5 HT3A, 5 HT3R, 5-HT3-A, HTR3, 5HT3R, 5-HT-3, 5-HT3A, 5-HT3R
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

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.
