DescriptionChemiScreen™ A3 Membrane Preparation
OverviewHuman A3
Background InformationExtracellular adenosine mediates a multitude of biological effects, including wakefulness, antiarrythmia, bronchoconstriction and response to ischemia and oxidative stress. A family of four GPCR adenosine receptors, A1, A2A, A2B and A3, is responsible for these effects (Fredholm et al., 2001). A3, which couples to Gi/o, is expressed in mast cells along with A2B. Mice lacking A3 display reduced mast cell degranulation and bronchoconstriction in response to adenosine (Tilley et al., 2003; Zhong et al., 2003). Chemicon's cloned human A3-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-3 host, which supports high levels of recombinant A3 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists and antagonists at A3.

Chemicon's A3 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of A3 interactions with its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 4.7 nM for [125I]-AB-MECA. With 5 mg/well A3 Membrane Prep and 5nM [125I]-AB-MECA, a greater than 3-fold signal-to-background ratio is obtained.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a protein that belongs to the family of adenosine receptors, which are G-protein-coupled receptors that are involved in a variety of intracellular signaling pathways and physiological functions. The receptor encoded by this gene mediates a sustained cardioprotective function during cardiac ischemia, it is involved in the inhibition of neutrophil degranulation in neutrophil-mediated tissue injury, it has been implicated in both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative effects, and it may also mediate both cell proliferation and cell death. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P33765 # Receptor for adenosine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibits adenylyl cyclase. Possible role in reproduction.
SIZE: 318 amino acids; 36185 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
PTM: Phosphorylation on Ser-317 may be crucial for rapid desensitization (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P33765 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, and then washed with 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

Binding buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, filtered and stored at 4°C

Radioligand: [125I]-AB-MECA (Perkin Elmer# :NEX312)

Wash Buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, filtered and stored at 4°C.

One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 3-fold signal:background with 125I-labeled AB-MECA at 0.2 nM
