Background

Methods
Applications
Highlights
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of seven transmembrane protein receptors
found in eukaryotes. Coupling with G proteins, these receptors are activated by binding to diverse
extracellular ligands including light-sensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and
neurotransmitters etc.
The activated GPCRs further induce intracellular
signal transduction pathways and, ultimately,
cellular responses. GPCRs are involved in a wide
variety of physiological processes and many
diseases. To date, many medicinal drugs are GPCR-
targeting, and there is an increasing interest in the
study of discovering novel GPCR-related drug
candidates.
Background
With years of experience and thousands of accomplished projects, Creative
Biogene offers flexible GPCR detection solutions which can help customers
to achieve an ideal GPCR stable cell line suitable for downstream cell-
based assay.
Leading Capability
Engineered cell lines stably overexpressing GPCRs are useful models for
detection of GPCR signaling. Creative Biogene owns a team of experienced
GPCR biologists working in the area of GPCR biology and drug discovery.
We have generated a wide variety of GPCR stable cells with more under
development.

Technologies & Methods
Second Messenger-Mediated Pathway
GPCR activation can be monitored by second messengers such as cAMP and calcium. Upon treatment of
ligands, the intracellular cAMP or calcium is changed in a GPCR stable cell line which can be detected using
cAMP or calcium cell assay kits. To further simplify and visualize the change of second messengers induced by
GPCR activities, Creative Biogene has developed a type of stable cell line containing both a GPCR protein and
a fluoresent-based reporter system. Ligand induced GPCR modulation can be measured through fluorescence
intensity readout.

β-arrestin Recruitment Pathway
β-arrestin is a key protein involved in GPCR signal transduction as a negative regulator. GPCR activation
stimulates the β-arrestin to translocate and interact with the activated receptor. This interaction leads to the
attenuation of GPCR signaling. The ligand-induced β-arrestin activities have been utilized by our scientists for
GPCR stable cell line development. In these cell lines, ligand binding triggers β-arrestin recruitment which can
be measured through fluoresent or chemiluminescent output.
GPCR Internalization
GPCR internalization is a process of endocytosis induced by ligand binding. Creative Biogene can generate
stable cell lines for monitoring ligand-induced GPCR internalization. By fusing a fluorescent protein to the
GPCR or based on enzyme fragment complementation, the receptor internalization can be detected by
fluoresent or chemiluminescent imaging.
