Applications HEK293 stable cell lines expressing GPCR genes have a wide range of uses in basic research and drug discovery.

1) High - throughput Screening: These cell lines are widely used in high - throughput screening assays to identify new ligands for GPCRs. By exposing the cells to large libraries of small molecules or other compounds and monitoring the resulting cellular responses, potential drug candidates can be rapidly identified.

2) Drug Target Validation: They provide a valuable tool for validating GPCRs as drug targets. Researchers can study the effects of specific drugs or genetic manipulations on the GPCR - expressing cells to assess the functional significance of the GPCR in a particular biological process. This helps to determine whether targeting a specific GPCR is likely to have therapeutic benefits.

3) Pharmacological Characterization: HEK293 stable cell lines allow for the detailed pharmacological characterization of GPCR ligands. Parameters such as binding affinity, efficacy, and potency can be determined by measuring the ligand - induced responses in these cells. This information is crucial for optimizing the design of new drugs and understanding their mechanism of action.

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.

Target Gene DRD4
Background This gene encodes the D4 subtype of the dopamine receptor. The D4 subtype is a G-protein coupled receptor which inhibits adenylyl cyclase. It is a target for drugs which treat schizophrenia and Parkinson disease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with various behavioral phenotypes, including autonomic nervous system dysfunction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and the personality trait of novelty seeking. This gene contains a polymorphic number (2-10 copies) of tandem 48 nt repeats; the sequence shown contains four repeats. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
