DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ NPBW1 Neuropeptide B/W 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.

Neuropeptide B (NPB) and neuropeptide W (NPW) are members of a recently identified neuropeptide family that are ligands for two highly similar receptors, NPBW1 (GPR7) and NPBW2 (GPR8), both of which couple to Gi/o to inhibit intracellular cAMP production. Highest expression of NPBW1 mRNA and protein was identified in the amygdala and hypothalamic nuclei. Physiological studies demonstrate that intracerebroventricular infusion of NPBW1 ligands modulates feeding behaviour, nociception, and release of corticosterone, prolactin and growth hormone (Singh and Davenport, 2006). NPBW1 knock out male mice have shown mild adult-onset obesity and decreased locomotor activity. They become progressively hyperglycaemic and hyperinsulinaemic (Ishii et al., 2003). Millipore’s cloned human NPBW1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-4 host, which supports high levels of recombinant NPBW1 expression on the cell surface and contains optimized levels of a recombinant promiscuous G protein to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at NPBW1.
