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.
Gene HTR3A

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)
Morphology Epithelial
Stability Validated for at least 10 passages

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.

Q & A

Customer Reviews

Customer Q&As
What special applications does this cell line have in neuroscience research?

A: It is primarily used for studying serotonin signaling in the nervous system, especially its role in mood regulation and anxiety disorders.

What are the potential uses of the Human HTR3A Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in gastrointestinal disease research?

A: Since serotonin receptors play a significant role in gastrointestinal function, this cell line can be used to study signaling pathways related to gastrointestinal disorders.

How to ensure the reproducibility of experiments using the Human HTR3A Stable Cell Line-HEK293?

A: Ensure consistency in experimental conditions, including cell density, composition of the culture medium, and experimental procedures.

What are the advantages of using the Human HTR3A Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in drug development?

A: It can be used for high-throughput screening of drugs affecting serotonin receptor activity, particularly antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications.

What are the applications of the Human HTR3A Stable Cell Line-HEK293 in pharmacological toxicity assessment?

A: It can be used to assess the potential toxicity of drugs on serotonin receptors, especially their impact on the central nervous system.

How was the Human HTR3A Stable Cell Line-HEK293 constructed, and what gene engineering technique was used?

A: The cell line was constructed by stably transfecting the human HTR3A (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3A) gene into HEK293 cells, using standard gene transfection and selection techniques.
