DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ AT1 Angiotensin Receptor Frozen Cells
Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

Angiotensin II (Ang II), an octapeptide produced by cleavage of angiotensinogen by angiotensin-converting enzyme, plays a fundamental role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Two GPCRs, AT1 and AT2, mediate the effects of AngII, although AT1 is primarily responsible for the effects of Ang II on renal function and development, thirst, electrolyte and water balance, and arterial blood pressure. Binding of Ang II to AT1 activates both Gq and Gi (De Gasparo et al., 2000). Millipore’s cloned human AT1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant AT1 expression on the cell surface for functional detection via the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at AT1.
