DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ D4 Dopamine 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.

The neurotransmitter dopamine is involved in a wide variety of neuroendocrine, emotional, cognitive and locomotor functions. These activities of dopamine are mediated by a group of 5 G protein coupled receptors, 2 of which (D1 and D5) couple to Gs and 3 of which (D2, D3, D4) couple to Gi (Missale et al., 1998). The D4 receptor is highly polymorphic, particularly in the third cytoplasmic loop, which contains from 2 to 7 repeats of 16 amino acids. Individuals with 7 repeats have increased risk of developing ADHD (Thapar et al., 2005). Mice engineered to lack D4 have reduced locomotor activity, increased sensitivity to drugs of abuse that elevate dopamine (cocaine, methamphetamine and ethanol), and reduced response to novelty (Rubinstein et al., 1997; Dulawa et al., 1999). Millipore’s cloned human D4-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-5 host, which supports high levels of recombinant D4 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 D4.
