Gene Information

Cat. No. CSC-RG1636
Background The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family 1, is an integral plasma membrane protein which binds melanin-concentrating hormone. The encoded protein can inhibit cAMP accumulation and stimulate intracellular calcium flux, and is probably involved in the neuronal regulation of food consumption. Although structurally similar to somatostatin receptors, this protein does not seem to bind somatostatin.

Revival Rapidly thaw cells in a 37°C water bath. Transfer contents into a tube containing pre-warmed media. Centrifuge cells and seed into a 25 cm2 flask containing pre-warmed media.
Media Type Cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
Growth Properties Cells are cultured as a monolayer at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Split at 80-90% confluence, approximately 1:3-1:6.
Freeze Medium Complete medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) DMSO
Mycoplasma Negative
Format One frozen vial containing millions of cells
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.
