Product Description |
Recombinant CHO-K1 cells stably overexpress human platelet activating factor receptor (PTAFR) on the surface and contain high levels of G protein Gαq and Gαi to couple with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways. |
Applications |
Calcium mobilization assay, cAMP accumulation assay and IP-One assay. |
Expressed Gene |
NCBI reference sequence NM_000952; no expressed tags |
Target Protein |
NP_000943 |
Host Cell |
CHO-K1 |
Size |
Two vials of frozen cells (>1×106 per vial in 1 mL) |

Background |
The platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor (PTAFR) is a G protein coupled receptor that signals through multiple pathways and mediates several cellular responses including cell motility, smooth muscle contraction, and releases of cytokine and leukotriene. In humans, various diseases have been associated with PAF, such as allergic asthma, endotoxic shock, atherosclerosis and psoriasis. |

Figure 1. PAF-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO-K1/PTAFR cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 prior to being stimulated with agonist PAF. The intracellular calcium change was measured by FLIPR. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were normalized and plotted against the log of the cumulative doses (5-fold dilution) of PAF (Mean ± SD, n = 2). The EC50 of PAF on the cells was 0.13 μM.
Notes:
1. EC50 value is calculated with four parameter logistic equation:
Y=Bottom + (Top-Bottom)/ (1+10^ ((LogEC50-X)*HillSlope))
X is the logarithm of concentration.
Y is RFU and starts at Bottom and goes to Top with a sigmoid shape.
