      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.

      Prokineticins, also known as endocrine gland vascular endothelial growth factors (EG-VEGF), are two ~10 kD secreted proteins originally described to mediate angiogenesis and gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction (Li et al., 2001; LeCouter et al., 2003). Subsequently, prokineticins have been found to mediate central nervous system functions including circadian rhythms and olfactory bulb development (Cheng et al., 2002; Ng et al., 2005). Two Gq-coupled receptors, PK1 and PK2 (also known as GPR73a and GPR73b), mediate cellular responses to prokineticins (Lin et al., 2002). The phenotype of the PK2-null mouse indicates that PK2 promotes development of the olfactory bulb and several male and female reproductive organs (Matsumoto et al., 2006). Millipore’s cloned human PK2-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant PK2 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 antagonists of interactions between PK2 and its ligands.
